With 194 berths for boats up to 12 metres in length and several facilities for the dry-dock repair and maintenance of boats (portal crane, tidal grid, electro-hydraulic boat hoist), the Doca de Belém represents an important symbolic location for all the world’s yachtsmen: it was from here that the Portuguese ships set sail in the C15th and C16th on their voyages of discovery and so completely revolutionized the world of sailing and navigation.
This marina is therefore surrounded by an impressive cluster of commemorative monuments, including the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, a masterpiece of C16th Portuguese architecture and has been classified by UNESCO as world heritage.
