Take a trip through history with a visit to the sensational Jeronimos
Monastery and Belem
Tower, two monuments dating from the time of Vasco da Gama (entombed in
the monastery's church), Prince Henry the Navigator, Magellan, and all the
other great Portuguese explorers.
These and other historical figures are
immortalized in sculptures on the Discoveries
Monument, which also has an illustrated pavement showing their routes
and conquered lands.
For an overview of Portugal's pioneering role in world
exploration, visit the Maritime
Museum, the Ancient
Art Museum, and the Orient Museum.
Also be sure to enter the golden interiors of São Roque and Santa Catarina churches. These have the most magnificent gilded art made possible with the gold discovered in Brazil.
