The Lionesa Group, as a member of the Monasterium Association, also presented today the cross-border project "Caminho da Arte".
This is a route of contemporary art, with more than 260 km, which will cross other municipalities until the Galician city of Santiago de Compostela.
The presentation took place in the auditorium of the Monastery of Leça do Balio and was attended by the President of the Municipal Assembly of Matosinhos, Palmira Macedo, and the councillors Fernando Rocha, Marta Pontes and Vasco Pinho.
The first sculpture of the route is by the architect Álvaro Siza Vieira and is located in the monastery's farm. Called "Temple", the sculpture is defined as "a space of introspection, which promotes a personal encounter and seeks to give visibility to the importance that the monastery of Leça do Balio had in the Portuguese roads, towards Santiago de Compostela".
In the year that marks 20 years of existence, the Lionesa Group also unveiled the graphic image that represents its brands, designed by Eduardo Aires.
