#getgoing2025 Belém Tower (Lisbon) Another iconic symbol of Portugal's Age of Discoveries, the Belém Tower is a fortified tower located on the Tagus River estuary. Built in the 16th century, it served as a point of embarkation and disembarkation for Portuguese explorers and traders. Its Manueline architecture, with intricate details and decorative elements, is a testament to the artistic style of the time.
