The day was grey, but that was no excuse to miss the opportunity to learn something about one of the greatest periods in the Portuguese history - the maritime discoveries. The area of Belém, in Lisbon, has got lots of landmarks and monuments that provide the perfect setting for a live history lesson: from the gothic Monastry of Jerónimos to the Monument of the Discoveries, a ship-like building built in 1940 on the occasion of the Portuguese World Fair in 1940, the places spoke for themselves!
In the afternoon we visited the Museum of Electricity, located in a fabulous building (a majestic 19th-century electrical power plant in Belém), where the students learned a little about the history of electrical power and carried out several practical experiments on these technologies.
