Belém Tower
Belém Tower, officially Torre de São Vicente,
Belém Tower, officially Torre de São Vicente, is a fortification located in the parish of Belém, municipality and district of Lisbon, in Portugal. On the right bank of the Tagus River, where Belém beach once existed, it was originally surrounded by water all around its perimeter. Over the centuries it was surrounded by the beach, until today the mainland was incorporated. One of the ex libris of the city, the monument is an icon of the architecture of the reign of King Manuel I, in a synthesis between the keep of medieval tradition and the modern bastion, where artillery pieces were arranged.
