Best places: Sculptures in Portugal

👍👍 There is a small roadside parking from where you can take some difficult steps to reach the shrine. The landscape around here seems out of this world

👍👍 They are champions 😎

Lisbon's lively central plaza with a wavy cobblestone pattern, 2 baroque fountains & busy cafes.

👍👍 It's located on a roundabout next to Parque Eduardo VII and a few minutes walk from the shopping centre of Amoreira .

👍👍 This statue stands in tribute to King José I of Portugal of the royal house of Braganza. His main notability having been the defeat of the Spanish Invasion during the Seven Years War and largely leaving the governing to the Marquis of Pombal.

Art museum in an 18th-century palace with Flemish paintings, Portuguese sculpture & applied artwork.

👍 This square is the central place of Cascais. The square is paved with Portuguese wavy pattern and a statue of the king Pedro I in the middle. The king has nicknames as the Just or the Cruel. Buildings are interesting because of the architecture and here are some of the city's key municipal buildings...

👍👍 It is a curious attraction but little known because it is little known as a tourist site. It is the replica of the 1st seaplane to cross the South Atlantic in 1922, heading for Rio de Janeiro. Located next to the Monument to the Discoveries and the Belém Tower.

👍👍 Lagos is the port where the first enslaved Africans disembarked from Portuguese ships in 1444, marking the very beginning of the transatlantic slave trade. Yet the only acknowledgement of this history within the popular, touristic centre of the city is a small museum called the “Slave Market” which...
