Padrao dos Descobrimentos
Celebrate Portugal's rich history of exploration at Padrao dos Descobrimentos, which was built to commemorate Prince Henry the Navigator and the Age of Discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries. Architect José Angelo Cottinelli Telmo and sculptor Leopoldo de Almeida created the original statue for the 1940 Portuguese World Fair. It was later destroyed but then rebuilt in 1958 by the government. Note the monument's square with its marble compass rose, which was a gift from South Africa.

It is an enormous monument and tribute, and really impressive to see both up close, and from a distance with the water and bridge in the background.

Amazing structure at ground level, and wonderful view from the top. I suggest buying Lisbon card if you plan to visit many sights of the city, in this way entrances to certain attractions are either free or with great discount. At ground level there is also the museum about the plans and expansion of Belem part of the town.
-
Very interesting place. There is an entrance to the top of the monument. As of May 2022, the ticket is six euros. I recommend going to the top. The view from there is incredible. You can see the bridge on one side, and another side is the tower and palace across the road.
-
Very cool looking monument that you have to check out. The size alone is crazy and up close it’s even crazier. I didn’t go inside due to lack of time but it might be worth checking out. Definitely visit the outside though
-
Great views of Lisbon from the top! Impressive structure with figures from history carved into the side. Definitely the best way to see the map on the ground below! It is a must see when visiting Lisbon, especially on a clear and calm day!

The monument is a totalitarian landmark that is a must-visit during your stay in lisbon. There is an exhibition in the basement for those who buy a ticket to the top. There is an elevator to the top, but you can also take the stairs if you feel up for the challenge. There are wonderful views from the rooftop, where you can also gaze at the mosaic and crowds on the plaza below
