This monument to Dom Pedro IV, who was emperor of Brazil and briefly King of Portugal, is a work by the Belgian sculptor Anatole Calmels. Commissioned by the Porto City Council, the monument stands in the Praça da Liberdade. The foundation was laid in 1862 and the inauguration took place in 1866. Showing the emperor on horseback holding the Constitutional Charter, the monument is 10 metres tall. The two pedestal reliefs, originally in marble, have been replaced by bronze copies.
