Pidjiguiti Monument

Memorial to 1959 dock workers' massacre, a key moment in Guinea-Bissau's independence struggle.

The Pidjiguiti monument stands at the docks where Portuguese colonial police killed striking dock workers in 1959, an event that galvanized independence movements. The monument is simple but historically significant. Nearby, the docks themselves are atmospheric, lined with fishing boats and warehouses.
