If you continue along Avenida dos Descobrimentos along the promenade you will reach Praça Infante Dom Henrique, in the middle of which is the monument to Henry the Navigator. It was built in his honor as he sent out his caravels from Lagos to discover unknown countries and thus laid the foundation for Portugal's rise as a world power.
