Arco de Triunfo

posted by vrobertson on 21 December 2010 at 10:04

The grand triumphal arch at the end of Camereio square is a really impressive sit which dominates the square. It commemorates the rebuilding of Lisbon after the tragic earthquake of 1755 when a large part of the city was destroyed. It is decorated with sculptures of great figures from Portuguese history and from the rebuilding of the city.

Torre de Belem

posted by rsteele on 21 December 2010 at 09:56

Located in the Belem district at the mouth of the River Targus, this is a really wonderful fortified tower with some severe castellated elements, pointed windows and other Moorish elements. The tower is a Unesco world herritage site and a fairly uniquely fantastical piece of architecture.

Padrao dos Descobrimmentos

posted by msteiner on 21 December 2010 at 09:47

The Padrao dos Descobrimentos is a monument to the great explorers of Portugal who chartered new corners of the world. It's an amazing sight and well worth seeing, as it's made in the shape of a ship with Henry the Navigator standing at the helm of the ship. Behind him are other great explorers including Vasco da Gama. All this is carved out of stone. Really incredible.
