School of Sagres

The School of Sagres is a legendary or symbolic term often associated with the Age of Discovery, particularly Portugal's maritime advancements in the 15th century. It is believed to have been a center of navigation, exploration, and shipbuilding in Sagres, Portugal, where Prince Henry the Navigator and other explorers studied and developed new maritime techniques. However, there is no concrete archaeological evidence of a formal school, and the concept is more historical lore describing the collaborative environment that fostered Portuguese exploration during this era. It represents Portugal’s maritime innovation and adventurous spirit that led to global exploration.
