It stands right beside the Tagus River in Bel\u00e9m, shaped like the prow of a ship pointing toward the Atlantic. The setting alone tells you a lot about Lisbon\u2019s past. For centuries, this stretch of river was the departure point for Portuguese ships heading out on long voyages.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locally, the monument is known as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Padr\u00e3o dos Descobrimentos<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and it honours the explorers, navigators and cartographers who helped turn Portugal into a major maritime power during the 15th and 16th centuries.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most visitors see the monument while exploring Bel\u00e9m, an area that holds several of Lisbon\u2019s most famous historic sights.

The monument rises about 56 metres high and stretches forward like the bow of a ship pointing into the river.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along both sides, you\u2019ll see a line of stone figures. At the front stands Prince Henry the Navigator, holding a small ship. Behind him are explorers, scientists, missionaries and members of the royal court who played roles in Portugal\u2019s maritime expansion.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each figure represents a different part of the story. Vasco da Gama, who opened the sea route to India, appears among the group, along with Ferdinand Magellan and several navigators who helped map the world during that period.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just in front of the monument, the pavement features a large marble compass and world map. Many visitors stop here to trace the routes taken by Portuguese explorers across the oceans. It\u2019s one of the more interesting details in Bel\u00e9m because it gives some visual context to the voyages the monument commemorates.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also enter the monument and take a lift to the viewing platform. From the top, the view stretches across Bel\u00e9m. The Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery sits just inland, while Bel\u00e9m Tower stands further along the waterfront.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4326ad5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4326ad5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2121\" height=\"1060\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/monument-of-discovery-Lisbon.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-4324\" alt=\"monument-of-discovery-Lisbon.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/monument-of-discovery-Lisbon.jpg 2121w, https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/monument-of-discovery-Lisbon-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/monument-of-discovery-Lisbon-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.allurevillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/monument-of-discovery-Lisbon-2048x1024.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2121px) 100vw, 2121px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6acdd46 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6acdd46\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aea4f92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aea4f92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Story Behind the Sculptures of the Discoveries Monument Lisbon Portugal\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7597bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7597bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the monument represents events from the 15th and 16th centuries, the structure itself is relatively modern. The original version of the Discoveries Monument Lisbon Portugal was built in 1940 for an exhibition celebrating Portuguese history.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That early version was temporary. The monument standing today was completed in 1960 to mark the 500th anniversary of Prince Henry the Navigator\u2019s death. Architect Cottinelli Telmo designed the structure, while sculptor Leopoldo de Almeida created the figures.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are 33 figures in total. Each one represents a historical figure connected to exploration or the expansion of Portuguese trade routes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the characters hold navigational instruments such as astrolabes and maps. Others carry swords or books, reflecting their role in exploration, science or religion.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The figures are arranged so that they appear to be advancing toward the river together.

It\u2019s part of a historic area that attracts a steady flow of visitors throughout the year.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opening hours change slightly depending on the season, though the monument usually opens mid-morning and closes in the early evening. Entry to the viewing platform requires a small ticket (\u20ac10 for adults which includes entry to the viewpoint, exhibition, and a film), while the outdoor space around the monument is free to visit. You can purchase tickets online via the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/padraodosdescobrimentos.pt\/en\/tickets\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">official monument website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The riverside promenade around the monument is wide and pleasant to walk.
