Introduction: Portugal is a country that many domestic and foreign tourists like to visit. The following are the must-see tourist attractions in Portugal that I share with you. Welcome to learn from them!
1. Jerome Monastery and Belaime Tower in Lisbon
Jerome Monastery, located at the entrance of Lisbon Harbour, was founded in 152, which is the best example of the peak of Portuguese art. Next to it, the Belaime Tower was built to commemorate the voyage of the navigator Vasco da Gama, and it tells people about the great sailing era that laid the foundation of the modern world. Francisco de Arruda's contribution is reflected in the architectural form, precise symmetry and decoration of the tower, which are all influenced by Islamic countries and eastern countries. The most prominent feature of the building-the segmented roof on the Byzantine Corner fully illustrates this point. As a symbol of the king's privilege, these decorations contain all the symbols of Manuel's time, with wires around the building and ending in beautiful knots. There are also many balls made of rings, crosses symbolizing Christian military orders and natural objects, such as rhinoceros, which first appeared on stones in Europe. This provides a basis for summarizing the characteristics of the west-facing turret, and it is also evidence of the integration of Portuguese architectural culture with other national cultures. With the passage of time, the tower has undergone numerous transformations.
2. Monument to the Discoverer
Padro dos Descobrimentos is a monument in Portugal to commemorate the maritime era in the 15th and 16th centuries, and it is also one of the famous landmarks in Lisbon. The Monument to the Discoverer is located in Avenida da Brasília, Torre de Belem, Lisbon, Portugal. The building sits right in front of the monastery of Saint Jerome, near the April 25th Bridge, which is where the Portuguese went to sea in the maritime era. The Monument to the Discoverer was first displayed at the World Expo in Portugal in 194, and was built by Portuguese art architect Tem and sculptor Leopoldo. It was rebuilt with concrete in 196, and the monument was rebuilt on August 6 of the same year to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the death of Prince Enrique, a famous Portuguese navigator. The Discovery Monument is a 52-meter-high concrete slab building carved into a bow shape with a ship as the main body. The east and west sides of the monument are carved with two Portuguese square shields respectively; To the north of the monument (that is, the side facing away from the Tahoe River) is engraved with a big sword.

As a cultural exchange center, the Electric Power Museum presents visitors with the past, present and future of electric power development. As a supplement to the Museum of Industrial Architecture Science, visitors can see the concrete application of various industrial concepts and experimental analysis methods, and each exhibit is closely related to the corresponding culture. The Electric Power Museum not only has various tangible exhibits, but also has a rich collection and technical materials. The museum gives priority to the restoration and improvement of various exhibition objects through activities such as overhaul, and improves the museum collection by purchasing, preserving and counting new accessories, and introducing spare parts information of other power plants in Portugal, especially spare parts information with precious value. At present, the museum has a large collection of movable equipment assets, such as boilers, turbine generators and condensers produced in 193-195, as well as related important power generation equipment and accessories from the end of the 19th century to the present.
4. historic centre of evora
The history of the "city of museums" can be traced back to the Roman period. In the 15th century, Portuguese kings chose to live here, which made the city of Evora develop to its heyday. The distinctive style of Evora lies in the white houses decorated with glazed tiles and the wrought iron balconies built in the 16th and 18th centuries. The historic sites in the city have a profound influence on Portuguese architecture in Brazil. In the 16th century, the regular urban planning and design developed radially along the top of the hill. In the ancient city center with irregular layout, some city squares extended to the starting point of the planning axis to form a whole building. Between these axes is a road network composed of narrow streets, most of which are straight lines, extending from one building group to another in different directions. Three successive city defense systems (Roman, medieval and Vauban) guarded the city. Between the brick walls surrounded by gardens and the remnants of brick walls, low powder houses with sloping roofs form a unified whole building, and cast iron and tiles make this feature more prominent.
5. guimaraes
guimaraes is located in Braga District in northern Portugal. It is a famous historical city and is known as the "cradle of Portugal". In 26, UNESCO listed the ancient city of guimaraes as a world cultural heritage.

Hero Harbor is connected with two natural harbors in Tesera Bay, and the harbor is on the transatlantic route. Historically a defensive center, it is now the capital of Tesera Island. Hero Port is located in one of the many islands in Azores. From 15th century to 19th century, when steamboats came out, ships would stop here. The 4-year-old fortress of San Sebastian and the fortress of San Juan bautista on the island are two unique examples of military architecture. Like Madeira Islands and Cape Verde Islands, Azores Islands were discovered in the great ocean exploration led by the navigator Prince Henry during the Aziz Dynasty in Portugal. Azores is a volcanic island with rugged terrain, dense forests, clear lakes and abundant geothermal resources. The mountain of San Miguel Island in the east is dense and misty. From the top of the mountain, you will have a bird's-eye view of the lake and the residential areas located by the lake, and you will forget everything in the world.
7. historic centre of oporto
The city of Porto is built along the mountain, overlooking the mouth of the Douro River. The unparalleled urban landscape here has a history of thousands of years.

The well-known Porto Antonio Caneiro Studio is now open to visitors except Mondays and public holidays. Antonio Carneiro was born in 1872 and died in 193. He is a famous painter in Porto.

The human bone chapel is a baroque building, which was founded by a semi-blind monk. In 1511, in order to convey the religious idea of "life is short", he built the chapel with about 5, bones in the church cemetery. The chapel is 6 meters long and 11 meters wide, and a chilling slogan "Our bones are waiting for your bones here" is engraved on the beam at the entrance, which makes people shudder. The church is made of human bones from the walls to the columns, and the dim light hits the walls, full of neatly arranged human bones or heads, which is creepy. The two walls and eight hall columns of the church are completely inlaid with human bones, and the white arched ceiling is painted with the theme of death and decorated with skulls. The wall is mainly made of limb bones embedded with cement, which can be arranged in two ways: limb bones are inserted into the wall or horizontally embedded in the wall, and many skulls are irregularly embedded in it.
