The Vasco da Gama Tower (Portuguese: Torre Vasco da Gama, pronounced is a 145-metre (476 ft) lattice tower with skyscraper forming a symbolic sail, in the civil parish of Parque das Nações, the municipality of Lisbon, in Portugal. Built 1998 on the north bank of the Tagus river, it is named after the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama (the first European to arrive in India by sail, in 1498).
The tower was built for the Expo '98 World's Fair. At the base of the tower was a three-story building that served as the European Union Pavilion during the Expo.
While they were open, the tower was the tallest structure in Portugal open to the public (excluding bridges).
Both the observation deck and the restaurant were closed in October 2004.
Parque Expo received permission to expand along the riverside in order construct a 20-floor, 178-room luxury hotel. The base of the tower was demolished between July and September 2007, for the construction of the hotel, which was started in October 2007. The Myriad Hotel is managed by the Portuguese Sana Hotels. The use of the observation deck and the panoramic restaurant resumed via access along the panoramic elevators.
