"Meant to look like the hull of a ship, this monument on the Tagus River pays homage to the Portuguese Age of Discovery during the 15th and 16th Centuries. In a way, Lisbon is undergoing a new “age of discovery” currently, though instead of venturing out to explore India and the “Orient,” people are moving into Lisbon to explore tech opportunities and creative passions."
