Torre de Belem
The Torre de Belém, formerly Torre de São Vicente, is a fortification located in Belém, on the right bank of the Tagus River, where Belém beach once existed, it was originally surrounded by water along its entire perimeter. Over the centuries it was surrounded by the beach, until today it became part of dry land. One of the city's ex libris, the monument is an architectural icon of the reign of D. Manuel I.
Over time, the tower lost its function of defending the Tagus River and, following the Philippine occupation, the old warehouses gave way to dungeons. On the four floors of the tower, the Governor's Room, the Kings Room, the Audience Room and, finally, the Chapel with its characteristic 16th century vaults remain. The Tower of São Vicente (1514) belongs to a formation defending the Tagus basin ordered to be erected by João II of Portugal, composed to the south by the tower of São Sebastião da Caparica (1481) and to the west by the Tower of Santo António de Cascais ( 1488).
