Miradouro de Santa Catarina, Scenic viewpoint in Lisbon, Portugal.
The Miradouro de Santa Catarina offers a viewing terrace with stone steps overlooking the Tagus River, 25 de Abril Bridge and Cristo Rei statue.
The observation point has functioned as a strategic location for monitoring maritime traffic since the 16th century, when Portuguese ships returned from their expeditions.
A stone sculpture of Adamastor, the mythological giant from The Lusiads epic poem, stands at the terrace commemorating Portuguese maritime exploration.
The viewpoint opens daily from 7:30 AM to 11:30 PM and includes a kiosk serving drinks and snacks, with nearby access to the Bica Funicular.
The site features amphitheater-style seating arrangements constructed during the 2013 renovations, creating multiple viewing levels for visitors.
