Padrão dos Descobrimentos (or Monument of the Discoveries) is a stunning monument celebrating the Portuguese Age of Exploration on the northern bank of the Tagus River, at the site where ships set sail for India and the Far East. First built in 1940, then rebuilt out of permanent materials in 1960, the monument depicts Henry the Navigator with 32 other figures of navigators, explorer, cartographers, missionaries, and artists. Visitors can see the exhibition space, watch a documentary film, and enjoy the view from the viewing platform.
