#wecreate This statue was built in 1940 and made permanent in 1960 to mark 500 years since Henry the Navigator’s death. It’s a great opportunity to have a few good photos before heading to Jeronimos Monastery. The Padrão dos Descobrimentos (Monument of Discoveries) stands tall along the Tagus River, honoring Portugal's rich exploration heritage. This iconic monument pays homage to the brave explorers who ventured into unknown territories, opening new horizons and forging connections with distant lands. 🚢🌍✨
