Description
The Torre de Belem is one of the landmarks of the Portuguese capital Lisbon. It was built between 1515 and 1519 at the mouth of the Tejo river as a kind of watchtower. The cannon were placed in the first floor near the waterline. Many of the famous expeditions of the 16th and 17th century started from here. Today the manuelitic building is an Unesco World Heritage Site.
