Absolutely amazing with how much detail the group of people has been integrated into the stone. What a lovely sight! Unfortunately, we weren't able to go up when we were there... ????????????

Dedicated to all the great adventurers of the age of discovery . Statues of Henry the navigator, Vasco De Gama, Ferdinand Magellan, Bartholomew Diaz and other prominent explorers, etc.

Nice ! Take the lift, enjoy the stunning views & use the stairs (optional) to go down, kids loved it. More infos http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padrão_dos_Descobrimentos

When you get to the top of the tower go to the edge and look straight down to see the huge mosaic .

The Padrão dos Descobrimentos was dedicated to the Portuguese entourage that established Portugal in the 14th century.

Fantastic! Majestic architecture and a lovely view at the bridge . €6 to take the lift up to the top.

Mark Makin

Incredible monument - a tribute to Lisbon's fearless travellers, explorers and conquerers. Even if you don't care for that, spend the €4 for the crow at the top it's amazing!

Heitor Botti

Nice monument , it tells a little bit of Portuguese history as well their traditions. Too crowded , but not a big deal, enjoy the sunset beside Tagus river , gorgeous.

Zeynep Ozturk Ozyer

All history is just put in one monument ! It is impressive and should be seen from the river to feel it more!

Francis Kinder

Built in the 20th century, this monument honors all Portuguese bests. Explore the world with the beautiful mosaic on the square's floor.

David Pin

My favorite Building in Lissabon, the Art and the Historie around that Building is just awesome. If You are ob Top of the Building you can get some relay nice pictures!

Tony Xerri

Do me a favor, if you see anyone riding one of those Segway things, punch them in the face. It's what the explorers would want you to do considering they risked their lives for millions of people.

Simon Baer

Nice view , you better take the stairs after all those Pasteis you've had! ;)

RuteSalvadinho

It's amazingly big, it's really worth it to see, it's located in a great place, close to the marina and it has a great history...

Amazing monument . Walk further along the water to see the tower of Belem.

At the northern bank of the Tagus River lies the Discoveries Monument , which celebrates the Age of Exploration of the 15th and 16th centuries. Home to the historical statue of Henry the Navigator.

Alex Curiel

Monument dedicated to the Age of Discoveries (which Portugal contributed a lot to). You can up to enjoy some views

Victor Garrido

Great map with all different trips taken by the portuguese, made in marble right in front the monument on the floor!

Andrew Talaga

Better to go up the old tower rather than this one - views are just as good ( as long as you can climb the 93 steps in the old tower!)
