Portugal - Lisbon - Belem - Monument to the Discoveries Paving 06_sq_DSC1392
(Yet) Another shot of the distinctive paving at the Monument to the Discoveries in Belém, Lisbon. When you have a scene with as much photographic potential as this it would be rude not to take full advantage of it........

From Wikipedia : "Located on the edge of the Tagus' northern bank, this 52 metre-high slab of concrete, was erected in 1960 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator. The monument is sculpted in the form of a ship's prow, with dozens of figures from Portuguese history following a statue of the Infante Henry sculpted in base relief. Adjacent to the monument is a calçada square in the form of a map, showing the routes of various Portuguese explorers, during the Age of Discovery."
