The Torre de Belem is the most characteristic building in Lisbon, being the monument in Portugal that comes closest to instant recognition. This delightfully tiny fortress has guarded the Tagus Estuary since the 16th century and was built in the heyday of the Manueline style of architecture.

The Belém Tower is a military construction from the 16th century, designed by Francisco de Arruda and Diogo de Boitaca. It played a crucial role during the Age of Discovery as a fortress and port.

Throughout its history, it has served as a prison, lighthouse, and tax collection center.

Together with the Jerónimos Monastery, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983.

I hope this information is useful to you! 😊

The Belém Tower is an old military construction located in the city of Lisbon, capital of Portugal. It is a work by Francisco de Arruda and Diogo de Boitaca that had great importance in the Age of Discoveries in Europe, since it served as a fortress and a port from where Portuguese explorers set out to establish what would be the first European trade in history. with China and India. When it stopped serving as a defense against invaders in the estuary of the Tagus River, it was used as a prison, as a lighthouse and also as a tax collection center to enter the city.

It is located at the mouth of the Tagus River, in the Santa Maria de Belém neighborhood, southwest of Lisbon. Together with the Jerónimos Monastery, the Belém Tower was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983.
