A curious bronze figurative statue in the Patrão Joaquim Lopes square, depicting a Moorish woman in a long dress.
Strolling through the cobbled streets of Olhão, one cannot fail to come across the Patrão Joaquim Lopes square where a curious bronze figurative statue of a woman is enthroned. It is a reference to the legend of Floripes, the story of a young Moorish woman dressed in a long white dress, who wanders around every night, lost and abandoned, trapped by an enchantment, waiting for her father to come and get her. The Moura Encantada (the enchanted Moorish woman) particularly affects the Olhanenses and continues to embody the fear of the beyond.
