Tower of Belém
Strategically built on the bank of the river Tagus between 1514 and 1520 as a defence system, the Tower of Belém is one of the jewels of architecture from the reign of King Manuel. It is a combination of a traditional keep tower with the first devices built to resist artillery fire. It still preserves some spaces used for civil purposes, under typical 16th-century vaults, a casemate for artillery and the memory of the prisons that were used since the 16th century.
