Padrão dos Descobrimentos or The Monument to the Discoveries is a monument that celebrates the Portuguese who took part in the Age of Discovery of the 15th and 16th centuries. It is located on the estuary of the Tagus river in the Belém parish of Lisbon, Portugal, where ships departed to their often unknown destinations. More details can be found in this link. Cropped for a more dramatic effect and to avoid other clutter in the image.
