This obelisk commemorates the landing on July 8, 1832, of the liberal fleet commanded by King Pedro IV, who arrived with an army of 7,500 men from the Azores. Their objective was to establish a modern, liberal regime in Portugal, confronting the prevailing absolutism.

Completed in 1864, the obelisk stands on the spot where, on July 8, 1832, King Pedro IV landed with an army of 7,500 men, nicknamed "Los Bravos de la Memoria", to end the rule of his brother Miguel and return the throne to his daughter Maria.
