António Maria Eusébio, the “Calafate”, name by which he was known due to the profession he had and also nicknamed “the singer of Setúbal”, was a charismatic popular author, who, although simple and illiterate, reported in poems and songs the evolution of the Setubalense borough in the transition from the XNUMXth to the XNUMXth century.
He was born in 1819, died in 1911, and the monument in his honor, located in Parque do Bonfim, was designed by the architect Castro Lobo and was offered to the city in 1968 by the Rotary Club of Setúbal.
