Description
In Porto, Portugal, there is a statue of ‘Henry the Navigator’, its native most well-known son. This angel lifts up her wings and arms as if speaking to the heavens. She has a cross in her hand and what looks like a lily. She is stepping on a round globe I would assume is the Earth and there is a dragon underneath it that it is crushing. I was unable to find out more about this beautiful statue. This area was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
