  • Padrao dos Descobrimentos - This imposing monument celebrates the Portuguese Age of Discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries. Shaped like a ship’s prow, it bears statues of important figures from this era, with Henry the Navigator leading the way.

  • Monumento a Dom Pedro IV - Lisbon’s heartbeat, Rossio is a lively square with wavy-patterned cobblestones, historic cafes, and the National Theatre. Its atmosphere is a blend of everyday life and historical significance, as it has seen festivals, revolts, and even bullfights in the past.
