Established by Prince Henry the Navigator, this institution focused on advancing maritime knowledge and techniques, facilitating exploration along the African coast and into the Atlantic. The school played a crucial role in the Age of Discovery, enabling Portuguese explorers to make significant voyages that expanded European understanding of the world.
