A large public sculpture celebrating Covilhã’s textile heritage — oversized thread spools and industrial forms that contrast with nearby Serra da Estrela slopes. Photograph for strong graphic shapes, textures and local context. Accessible from town by foot or short drive; limited on-street parking nearby. Best at golden hour for warm side-light and long shadows, or blue hour for silhouette against sky. Weekday mornings are quieter. No entry fee; respectful distance around a civic square is usual
