Also known as Henry the Navigator, he was one of the most important members of the Portuguese royal family during the 15th century. It was he who promoted the exploration and discovery expeditions that led Portugal to become one of the main maritime powers in the world.

Monument to "Henry the Navigator" on the 500th anniversary of his birth. The monument was inaugurated in 1900. You can often hear live music here - just like that.
