TORRE DE BELÉM
Go there and contact
Tower of Belém, whose purpose was to defend the access to the port and which served as the residence of the captain of the port.
What about this magnificent symbol of Lisbon? What about the Manueline elegance of the construction of the Torre de São Vicente (from 1515 to 1521)? A blend of Renaissance and exoticism including memories of the Koutoubia of Marrakech! Know that in the past this delicate sentinel stood in the middle of the Tagus! The tower was intended to defend access to the harbour and was also used as a residence by the harbour master. The interior doesn't have much interest though. Remember to take a ticket coupled with the monastery that cuts off the line.

Les visites sont payantes sauf les dimanches et fériés.
Aux alentours, nombreuses curiosités, sites et musées à visiter.
Le plus : marcher sur le chemin prévu à cet effet le long du Tage depuis Lisbonne et repartir avec le tram en ayant pris soin auparavant de goûter aux fameux pasteis de Bélem, friandise savoureuse.
Joli site avec une belle promenade le long du Tage
Bien que petite , la tour a une splendide architecture que l'on peut apprécier même de l'extérieur
En entrant , on bénéficie d'une vue sur le Tage , superbe en fin de journée
