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 16th-century military construction 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.
Along with the Jerónimos Monastery, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.
I hope this information is useful to you! 😊
