Lisbon District

I took this in March at Belém Tower, in Lisbon, Portugal. And came at just the right time - sunset time! And yet there were still quite a few people lazying about :). It was a beautiful Spring day there! This fortified tower is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most iconic sites in Lisbon! Built in the early 16th-century, it played a significant role in the Age of Discoveries. The tower was commissioned by King John II to be part of a defense system at the mouth of the Tagus river and a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon. The structure was built from Lioz limestone and is composed of a bastion and a 30 m (98.4 ft),four storey tower. It's impressive to see in person! Thanks to Wikipedia for the info, as well ;).

#Portugal #Lisbon #Lisboa Torre de Belém - Lisboa - Portugal Saindo de Lisboa, a bordo de um navio de cruzeiro, fui apreciando toda a beleza da cidade de Lisboa. Uma das atrações que mais me chamou a atenção foi a belíssima Torre de Belém. Resolvi naquele momento que voltaria e de fato voltei. A torre, em estilo manuelino, foi construída no início do século XVI pelo arquiteto e escultor Francisco de Arruda. Já foi forte, calabouço, alfândega e farol. A Torre de Belém é Patrimônio Mundial da Unesco desde 1983 e uma das sete Maravilhas de Portugal. Leaving Lisbon, aboard a cruise ship, I was enjoying all the beauty of the city of Lisbon. One of the attractions that most attracted my attention was the beautiful Torre de Belém. I decided at that moment that I would return and in fact I returned. The tower, in Manueline style, was built in the early 16th century by the architect and sculptor Francisco de Arruda. It was fort, dungeon, customs, and lighthouse. The Torre de Belém is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983 and one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal.
The Jerónimos Monastery or Hieronymites Monastery is a former monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome near the Tagus river in the parish of Belém, in the Lisbon Municipality, Portugal; it was secularised on 28 December 1833 by state decree and its ownership transferred to the charitable institution, Real Casa Pia de Lisboa.
Located along the Tagus River, next to the Belém Tower. The main statue represents Prince Henry the Navigator. At the back of the monument: the 25 de Abril Bridge looks like the Golden Gate Bridge, in San Francisco
