The Belém Tower is without a doubt one of the most emblematic monuments in Lisbon and in all of Portugal. It is a work of Francisco de Arruda and Diogo de Boitaca that served as a fortress for centuries. Built between 1516 and 1519. When it ceased to serve as a defense against invaders in the Tagus River estuary, it was used as a prison, as a lighthouse and also as a tax collection center.
It is located at the mouth of the Tagus River, in the neighborhood of Santa Maria de Belém, southwest of Lisbon. Along with the Jerónimos Monastery, the Torre de Belém was declared a World Heritage Site by unesco in 1983.
