Stake attention in this memory
A bust of a man in military uniform is mounted on a stone pedestal in an outdoor setting. The man has a mustache and appears to be wearing epaulets and a decorative collar. A bronze plaque below the bust contains text and symbols. The plaque identifies the subject as "MARECHAL LUIZ ALVES DE LIMA E SILVA - DUQUE DE CAXIAS, PATRONO DO EXERCITO BRASILEIRO." It also states his birth date as "25 DE AGOSTO DE 1803" and his death date as "7 DE MAIO DE 1880." The text describes him as a victorious military leader, esteemed for his participation in pacifying conflicts for the consolidation of the Brazilian Empire, and serving as senator and president of the Council of Ministers. It mentions his phrase, "Sigam-me os que forem brasileiros," which immortalized him as a great figure in the Brazilian Army. The plaque is dated "NITERÓI, RJ, 25 DE AGOSTO DE 2022." The environment around the bust includes lush green grass and plants at the base of the pedestal. In the background, there are trees with dense foliage, a tiled roof structure, and what appears to be a playground with yellow and orange equipment. A street sign, possibly indicating a parking restriction, is visible to the left. A red trash can with the "CEM" logo is positioned to the right. The sky above is partly cloudy. The image captures a monument dedicated to a significant figure in Brazilian military history, located in a public outdoor space in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro.
