  Church of St. Anthony

  The Church of Santo António is a building located in the parish of Santa Maria Maior (Sé), in the municipality of Lisbon, Portugal. It is allegedly in the place of the house where Santo António was born, next to the old Porto do Mar, which existed on the access wall to the interior of the medieval city of Lisbon, and is assumed as its sanctuary. Next door is a small museum dedicated to him. It is a tradition for young people who intend to get married on their wedding day to visit the church, pray and leave flowers for Saint Anthony, who is the intercessor for newlyweds. On the way down to the crypt, there is a panel of modern tiles that celebrates the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1982.

  Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco)

  Praça do Comércio, formerly Terreiro do Paço, is a square in the center of Lisbon, located near the Tagus River, in the area that was the seat of the palace of the kings of Portugal for about two centuries. It is one of the largest squares in Europe, with around 36,000 m² (180m x 200m). The buildings that surround the square have been used for decades by different ministries and other public institutions. There are several hotels, restaurants and cafes such as the famous Martinho da Arcada cafe, the oldest in Lisbon, and one of Fernando Pessoa's favorites. It was for a long time the noble entrance to Lisbon and, on the marble steps of the Píer de Colunas, from the river, heads of state and other prominent figures disembarked and were received. In the center of the square is the equestrian statue D. José, erected in 1775 by Joaquim Machado de Castro, the main Portuguese sculptor of the 18th century. On the north side of the square is Rua Arco do Triunfo de Augusta, the entrance to Baixa (downtown).

• Torre de Belem (Pass by)

  Strategically built on the north bank of the Tagus River, between 1514 and 1520, to defend the Lisbon bar, it is one of the architectural gems of the reign of King Manuel I. In the architectural ensemble, we can separate two distinct bodies, models of military architecture: the medieval fortress and the modern bastion that, with two levels of artillery fire, allowed a long-range, shallow shot and ricochet over the water. The Belém Tower is a cultural reference, a symbol of the specificity of the country that goes through a privileged dialogue with other cultures and civilizations. Guardian of our individuality and universality, this status was confirmed when, in 1983, it was classified by UNESCO as a "Cultural Heritage of All Humanity".

• Padrao dos Descobrimentos (Pass by)

  Area marked by the imposing Monument to the Discoveries. It was conceived in 1940 on the occasion of the "Exposition of the Portuguese World", promoted by the Salazar government to commemorate the double centenary of the foundation and restoration of the nationality (1140 and 1640). However, it was only built in 1960, in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the death of Infante D. Henrique, the Navigator. At 52 meters high, the monument symbolizes a caravel, led by the infant D. Henrique, followed in procession by 32 historical personalities who contributed to the Age of Discovery, such as King D. Afonso V (1432-81), driver of the first discoveries, Vasco da Gama (1460-1524), who discovered the sea route to India, Pedro Álvares Cabral (1467-1520), discoverer of Brazil and Fernão de Magalhães, who crossed the Atlantic in 1520-21, among others . The earth-facing facade is shaped like a cross decorated with the Sword of the Order of Aviz, an important travel funder.

• Mosteiro dos Jeronimos (Pass by)

  Near the place where the Infante D. Henrique, in the middle of the 15th century, had a church built in the invocation of Santa Maria de Belém, he wanted King D. Manuel I to build a large monastery. To perpetuate the memory of the Infante, due to his great devotion to Our Lady and belief in Saint Jerome, D. Manuel I decided to found in 1496 the Monastery of Santa Maria de Belém, near the city of Lisbon, close to the Tagus River. Donated to the monks of the Order of Saint Jerome, it is now known as the Jerónimos Monastery. It was the reception and burial of kings, later poets. The Jerónimos Monastery was declared a National Monument in 1907 and, in 1983, UNESCO classified it as a "Cultural Heritage of All Humanity".
