The Torre de Belém, a Lisbon icon and one of Portugal's most popular historic monuments, is a symbol of the Age of Discovery and the exploration voyages of the 15th and 16th centuries.


The tower, which was completed in 1521 as a fortress to defend the approaches to the River Tagus, is considered a military architectural masterpiece. The façade is a confection of beautifully carved stone, typified by maritime motifs such as twisted rope and the armillary sphere, and was designed in the Manueline style by Francisco de Arruda. The decoration is enhanced by an impressive Renaissance loggia.


UNESCO has designated the tower as a World Heritage Site because of its cultural significance.
