The monument is 27.5 meters tall and consists of a base, pedestal, column, and statue, with the pedestal made of marble from Montes Claros, the column of lioz stone from Pêro Pinheiro, and the bronze statue. At the base of the pedestal, the four female figures represent allegories of Justice, Prudence, Strength, and Moderation, qualities attributed to the King-Soldier, intertwined with festoons and the shields of the 16 main cities of the country. The lower part of the column is adorned with four figures of Fame in low relief. The fluted Corinthian column and the statue depict Dom Pedro IV in a general’s uniform, draped with the royal mantle, his head crowned with laurels, holding in his right hand the Constitutional Charter that he granted.
  This lower area of the city, was called Valverde due to a tributary of the Tagus River. The filthy Rossio sewer was covered in the Lisbon of the 1400s. It was an irregularly skewed square but was always a spacious area where fairs and markets were held.
  Even in the Middle Ages, it began to be surrounded by buildings of various natures. In the 15th century, to the east, the Royal Hospital of All Saints was established, built during the reigns of King John II and King Manuel I, resting on 25 ogival arches of stonework, with the temple, of splendid Manueline architecture, in the middle, whose facade opened onto a florid Gothic portico with the emblems of the founders.

• Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - The Jeronimos Monastery and its church are the pinnacle of Manueline architecture, the most notable Portuguese monastic complex of its time and one of the main hall churches in Europe. Its construction began in the early 16th century by the initiative of King Manuel I and lasted for a hundred years, directed by a remarkable group of architects/master builders (notably the decisive role of João de Castilho).
  The Jeronimos Monastery has been classified as a National Monument since 1907 and, in 1983, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, along with the Tower of Belém. On July 7, 2007, it was elected as one of the seven wonders of Portugal.

  It is today one of the most important tourist attractions in Portugal,

• Pastéis de Belém - Now we will taste the true number 1 of Portuguese confectionery, the pastel de Belém.
  The production of Pastéis de Belém began in 1837, and the recipe remains a secret to this day, although there are many attempts to copy it under other names.
  At the beginning of the 19th century, in Belém, next to the Jeronimos Monastery, there was a sugar cane refinery associated with a small shop. Due to the Liberal Revolution of 1820, all Portuguese convents and monasteries were closed years later, and as a result, all workers and clergy were expelled from these places.
  In an attempt to survive, a member of the Monastery began selling sweet pastries in that small shop, which quickly became known as “Pastéis de Belém” due to the area where they were sold, and the original recipe has been preserved to this day.

• Torre de Belem - Constructed in 1514, the Belém Tower, officially the Tower of Saint Vincent, is a fortification located in the parish of Belém, municipality and district of Lisbon, Portugal. On the right bank of the Tagus River, where the Belém beach once existed, it was originally surrounded by water on all sides. Its purpose was to defend the city of Lisbon.
  From the occupation during the reign of the Philips, the old gunpowder stores were converted into dungeons. Across the four floors of the tower, the Governor’s Room, the Kings’ Room, the Audience Room, and finally, the Chapel with its characteristic sixteenth-century vaults are preserved. The Tower of Saint Vincent (1514) is part of a defense system for the Tagus River basin commissioned by King John II of Portugal.

• Padrao dos Descobrimentos - This monument was erected in 1960 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry the Navigator.
  Standing alone and prominent on the riverfront along the Tagus, the Monument to the Discoveries commemorates the Portuguese overseas expansion, encapsulating a glorious past and symbolizing the greatness of Prince Henry’s work, the driving force behind the discoveries.
  A stylized caravel sets sail with Prince Henry at the prow, accompanied by some of the protagonists (32) of the overseas epic and the culture of the time, including navigators, cartographers, warriors, colonizers, evangelizers, chroniclers, and artists, each depicted with symbols that identify them.
  A stylized mast, oriented North – South, features on each side two Portuguese shields with five quinas, surrounded by a band with 12 castles and several fleur-de-lis at the center. Attached to the mast on each side are three triangular, curved structures, creating the illusion of sails filled by the wind.
  The north face is formed by two stone giants, with inscriptions in metallic letters:
  On the left side, above an anchor: TO PRINCE HENRY AND THE PORTUGUESE WHO DISCOVERED THE SEA ROUTES;
  On the opposite side, above a laurel wreath: ON THE FIFTH CENTENARY OF PRINCE HENRY 1460 – 1960.
