Belém, Lisbon - Portugal Cut into the paving stone, the compass was a present from the Republic of South Africa in 1960 and it's best seen from the top of the Monument to the Discoveries, that you can access by elevator located inside the building. The central map, depicting galleons and mermaids, shows the routes of the discoverers in the 15th and 16th centuries. http://www.strawberryworld-lisbon.com Photos: Celso Gonçalves Roc2c
