Nearby, we will find the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, an iconic monument, also located on the banks of the Tagus River. Opened in 1960 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry the Navigator, the great driving force behind Portuguese overseas expansion. This monument is a true tribute to Portuguese navigators in the Age of Discoveries.

Later, we will continue our journey in a small group, to the majestic Jerónimos Monastery. Also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this historic monument stands out for its exuberant Manueline-style architecture. And it was built by King D. Manuel I, in homage to the Portuguese discoveries. In this place, if we have the opportunity, we will visit the interior of the splendid Church of Santa Maria de Belém.
