This is a roundabout called the Carimbo de Emigração (Emigration Stamp) which consists of a three sets of sculpted figures surrounding a central element representing an immigration stamp. The full sculpture was conceived by the Belgian Francis Tondeur and was inaugurated on 7 November 2008. The sculptor was developed to commemorate Almancil and Loulé 172 anniversary as a "land of the Diaspora".
