The Sun Man is a monumental sculpture by Jorge Vieira. At approximately 20 meters high and weighing 15 tons, it is an anthropomorphic structure inspired by the sun. This work is considered a kind of testamentary synthesis of the author's oeuvre, a symbiosis of surrealism and abstraction with three-dimensional exploration. Jorge Ricardo da Conceição Vieira was born on November 16, 1922, in Lisbon and died in 1998 in Évora.

The maximum span is 420 meters (139 feet), and the pylons are 155 meters (510 feet) high. The A12 motorway crosses the bridge with six lanes.
