The Torre de Belém is one of the most impressive monuments in the city of Lisbon. Initially surrounded by the waters around its perimeter, it was progressively involved, until it was incorporated to the mainland today.
Originally under the invocation of St. Vincent of Saragossa, patron of the city of Lisbon, named in the 16th century by the name of Baluarte de São Vicente along with Belém and Restelo Bastion, this fortification was part of the defensive plan of the river Tagus.
It is located on the right bank of the river Tagus, where there once existed the beach of Belém.
Part of its beauty lies in the exterior decoration, adorned with ropes and carved stone, open galleries, watchtowers in the Moorish style and shield-shaped battlements decorated with armillary spheres, the cross of the Order of Christ and naturalistic elements such as a rhinoceros, alluding to navigations. The gothic interior, beneath the terrace, which served as armoire and prison, is very austere.
