It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, after the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon visited that monument. The project was inaugurated on 17 May 1959. The giant statue was erected to express gratitude because the Portuguese were spared the direct destructive effects of World War II.

Portuguese Fisheries Company Ruins Initially, vessels dedicated solely to coastal fishing, by trawler, operated from the Santos pier, on the north bank, in Lisbon, but at a certain point it was necessary to expand the support infrastructure to the south bank of the Tagus – the chosen location. was Olho de Boi, in Almada, given that there was a disused building, formerly belonging to the Companhia de Fiação e Textos Lisbonenses. The building then became the Company's mechanics area and the hub for the remaining factory structures that were later built. There was already a wall, which allowed the docking of the trawlers. This was later extended with the construction of a pier that advanced a few tens of metres in relation to the existing structure, thus making it possible to reach a deeper area more favourable to the manoeuvring of vessels. A few years later, the company expanded along the riverside area, eastwards, to the pier at Fonte da Pipa.

Between the cliff of Almada and the Tagus River, Jardim do Rio is a spacious and refreshing space, ideal for a pleasant walk along the Ginjal pier, or simply to relax on the grass by the Tagus.

Dom Fernando II e Glória is a wooden-hulled, 50-gun frigate of the Portuguese Navy. She was launched in 1843 and made her maiden voyage in 1845. Built at the shipyard of Daman in Portuguese India, it was Portugal's last sailing warship to be built and also the last ship that undertook the Carreira da Índia (India Run), a regular military line that connected Portugal to its colonies in India since the beginning of the 16th century. After long service it was almost destroyed by a fire in 1963 with the burned wooden-hull remaining beached at the mud-flats of the river Tagus for the next 29 years. Finally in 1990 the Portuguese Navy decided to restore her to her appearance in the 1850s.

The Praça do Comércio is a large, harbour-facing plaza in Portugal's capital, Lisbon, and is one of the largest in Portugal. Facing the Tagus (Tejo) to the South, the plaza is still commonly known in Portuguese as Terreiro do Paço as it hosted the Paço da Ribeira until the latter was destroyed by the great 1755 Lisbon earthquake (the subway station located there is still named after the old name of the plaza). After the earthquake, the plaza was completely remodeled as part of the rebuilding of the Pombaline City centre (Baixa), ordered by Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal, who was (chief) Minister of Portugal from 1750 to 1777, during the reign of the Portuguese King José.

MAAT is a cultural project for the city Lisbon that is focused on three areas - Art, Architecture, and Technology. The €20m museum sits on the River Tagus (Rio Tejo) to the west of the city centre and "one of Europe's most lyrical new museums".

The museum is designed by Amanda Levete Architects. MAAT's ambition is to present national and international exhibitions by contemporary artists, architects, and thinkers. The programme also includes various curatorial perspectives on EDP Foundation's Art Collection, reflecting current subject matters and trends.

The Electricity Museum was a former museum belonging to the EDP Foundation installed in the old Central Tejo, Av. from Brasilia, Lisbon.

The museum presents in its spaces, the past, present and future of Energies, in a concept of Museum of Science and Industrial Archaeology, where thematic and experimental exhibitions coexist side by side, with the most varied cultural and business events. It is located in the Belém area, on land conquered by Lisbon from the Tagus River at the end of the 19th century, in one of the areas with the greatest historical monuments in the city where we can find, among others, the Jerónimos Monastery, the Belém Cultural Centre, the Torre de Belém, the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, the Palace and Museum of the Presidency of the Portuguese Republic, or the Cordoaria Nacional.

Belém Tower, officially the Tower of Saint Vincent is a 16th-century fortification located in Lisbon that served as a point of embarkation and disembarkation for Portuguese explorers and as a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon. It was built during the height of the Portuguese Renaissance, and is a prominent example of the Portuguese Manueline style, but it also incorporates hints of other architectural styles. The structure was built from lioz limestone and is composed of a bastion and a 30-metre (100 ft), four-storey tower. Since 1983, the tower has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the Jerónimos Monastery. It is often portrayed as a symbol of Europe's Age of Discoveries and as a metonym for Portugal or Lisbon, given its landmark status. It has incorrectly been stated that the tower was built in the middle of the Tagus and now sits near the shore because the river was redirected after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.
