Padrão dos Descobrimentos

Built on the occasion of the Portuguese World Exhibition, the ostentatious Padrão, a work by Leopoldo de Almeida, rests on a compass rose and its design in the form of a caravel is imaginative. Inside the monument, an elevator goes up to the sixth floor, where you have access to a terrace from which you can get a fantastic panorama of the Tagus River and Belém. The attics house temporary exhibitions.
