The Memorial to the Soldiers of the Overseas War (Memorial aos Combatentes da Guerra do Ultramar) was erected in 1992, and was unveiled on 12 May 1993, outside the Bom Sucesso Fort, at the initiative of the League of Combatants.
A guard of honour stands by the angular war memorial. An eternal flame flutters in the breeze from the nearby river Tagus.
