You can travel to the city of Lisbon to see Belém Tower, one of its most important strongholds of protection.
The strength of Belém in Lisbon
This is an old fortress built in 1515, designed to monitor and protect the port city.
From the Tower of Belém more of the expedition departed seeking new lands and destinations throughout the world.
The exterior trim of the tower is one of the essential parts of the attraction, with its strings and bows carved into the stone, the guard towers and style of architecture, open balconies and Moorish origins belonging to the building.
Inside, the Tower of Belém has elements of Gothic, and the main rooms were used as warehouses for weapons although for some years also worked as a prison.
Climbing to the top, without a doubt the most stunning of the walk, you can glimpse the ocean in great magnitude, and the extension of the port and some beauties from around the city of Lisbon.
The Tower of Belém has been preserved since its construction, as one of the military buildings in the world.
Look closely at the tower, or from afar, with its grandeur on the River Tagus, made her one of the fronts to protect the nation. And today it has become one of the most common of postcards and pictures of the city.
