Un posto storico

The Monument to the Discoveries or Padrão dos Descobrimentos is located on the right bank of the Tagus River in Lisbon in front of the Monastery of Jerónimos. It was made in 1960, five hundred years after the death of Henry the Navigator, to celebrate the era of the discoveries made by Portuguese navigators between the XV and XVI century. The monument was initiated under the Salazar regime and wanted to celebrate all the sailors who participated in the great discoveries.
