Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (Porto, 1919 – Lisbon, 2004) is one of the highest voices of the European twentieth century. The first woman to win the prestigious Camões Prize (1999), her poetry combines the light of the Mediterranean, classical myth, love for the sea, and a rigorous civil commitment against the dictatorship.

This tribute is a public art piece in corten steel titled "Voa", developed after a challenge launched by the municipality. The Concept: The sculpture cuts out the silhouettes, in positive and negative, of a flock of swallows in full flight. They appear united with each other, conveying a strong idea of freedom and ascent towards the sky. The Link to the Poetess: The piece was specifically designed to integrate a poem by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen focused on the values of freedom and justice, making the perfect counterpoint to the Court building located there. The choice of location and poem evokes Sophia's famous thought, so often cited in Ponte de Sor: "We see, we hear and we read, we cannot ignore".

The Mora Fluviário is a public aquarium mainly dedicated to freshwater ecosystems, focusing on knowledge about biodiversity, the importance of rivers, lakes and other natural freshwater courses and their relationship with humanity. It was opened on 21 March 2007 and during your visit you will get to know some of the freshwater species of Portugal from its source to its mouth, and even the ocean, as well as others that occur in the Iberian Peninsula, and also in the Amazon River basin, the great African lakes of the Rift Valley and also in Asia. With freshwater as a cross-cutting theme in various areas of knowledge and cultures, a visit to this aquarium is a place to raise awareness about caring for these ecosystems that are home to enormous diversity, despite the fact that the freshwater available in liquid form on the surface constitutes a tiny percentage of all the water on planet Earth.
