Bronze sculpture of a woman, looking searchingly out across Ribeira beach and beyond, to the Atlantic Ocean and the horizon. She was placed here by the people of Cascais to celebrate 500 years of Portugese discoveries. She stands up high on a limestone pedestal and beneath her a map and compasses are etched into a bronze plaque, mapping out Portugal’s discoveries. Ribeira Beach and the sculpture are only a 5 minute walk from the train station.

Looks like a small statue of a mermaid. Probably a commemoration for local Portuguese sailors or their spirit of discovery. There's not much in the surrounding area outside of a small beach and a plaza leading some standard restaurants. Wouldn't say it's something you have to sto by,, more of an it exists local statue.

Il Monumento Aos Descobrimentos 🗽 situato nella baia di Cascais è alto 3 metri ed è dedicato ai 500 anni di scoperte portoghesi 🌎. La statua in bronzo rappresenta una giovane donna che scruta l'orizzonte avvolta in una vela simile a quella delle caravelle dell'epoca ⛵️ con una corda che tiene legato il Portogallo 🇵🇹 alle nuove terre scoperte 🚩. Le due targhe rappresentano la data di inaugurazione dell'opera e le date relative alle varie scoperte dei navigatori portoghesi 📆. Il richiamo all'epopea delle esplorazioni è davvero suggestivo.

“...Esta escultura foi executada para a comemoração dos 500 anos dos Descobrimentos Portugueses e inaugurada em 1992fev22. Concebida por João de Sousa Araújo “em bronze, com 3 metros de altura, representando uma jovem, olhando o horizonte, envolta numa vela semelhante à das caravelas de então, levando uma grossa e resistente corda, cuja ponta ficava em Portugal e com a outra ia prendendo as novas terras descobertas”. Conforme explícito no protocolo de doação, a ALA-Academia de Letras e Artes “que decidiu doar ao Povo de Cascais um Monumento que pelo seu simbolismo, expressão e grandeza, traduzisse de forma significativa a gigantesca epopeia que foram os Descobrimentos portugueses”. Na inauguração esteve presente o Sub-secretário de Estado da Cultura, Dr. António Sousa Lara, o presidente da Câmara Dr. Georges Dargent, o presidente da ALA, o Comendador Joaquim Baraona e Embaixadores e representantes diplomáticos dos PALOP. Foi colocada na rotunda que marcava o Largo Cidade Vitória e a Alameda dos Combatentes da Grande Guerra. Em 2001 recolocado junto ao Hotel Baía, no passeio D. Luís I, com nova peanha em azulino de Cascais. Por causa da construção do parque de estacionamento do Hotel Baía foi novamente deslocada, em 2006, para o local onde hoje se encontra junto à Praia dos Pescadores, na avenida D. Carlos...
