portuguese discoveries monument


The Portuguese Discovery Monument in Newport, Rhode Island, is a significant tribute to the Portuguese Age of Discovery. Located at Brenton Point State Park, it honors the Portuguese navigators who led the way during the Golden Age of maritime exploration from the early 1400s to the late 1500s. This monument not only celebrates the rich history of Portuguese exploration but also serves as a cultural landmark for the Portuguese-American community in the area.
