Padrão dos Descobrimentos

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.

The monument is very beautiful and full of meaning relating to Portugal 's history and discoveries.It's a great place to get some pictures ;)

Vasco de Gamma and the whole Portugese Concistadoros history in one amazing monument . Great place to sit & reflect.

for the memory of henry , the navigator, and all portuguese people who supported him and his navigators discovering the world... constructed in 1960 ... simgesel bir olayi var, gorulmeye deger!...

Great for photo shooting. For the memory of portugese discoveries

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

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...

Somewhat a modern take on recognition of Portugal 's great era of discovery. Nice nevertheless

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

Worth a visit. It costs €5 but you do get a great view from the top.

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.

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

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

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!)

Really good view of the city , definitely worth the admission fee (5€)

Beautiful landmark paying tribute to Potugal's exploration and empire's past.

A monument with the charme of the sixties. Make of it what you like.

Beautiful monument . Gives you the history. Nice wine places along the quay
