This monument, which has the shape of a caravel with the shield of Portugal on the sides, is 52 meters high, built in 1960 on the banks of the Tagus River in Lisbon, and celebrates the sailors, royal patrons and all those who participated in the development of the Age of Discovery. It was built to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator ... It is certainly a work or monument of great magnitude. Greetings @simonjay.
