On the right bank of the Tagus River, where Bel\u00e9m beach once stood, it was originally surrounded by water throughout its perimeter. Over the centuries, it was surrounded by the beach, until today it is incorporated into dry land. One of the city&#8217;s ex libris, the monument is an architectural icon of the reign of King Manuel I, in a synthesis between the medieval tradition keep and the modern bastion, where artillery pieces were displayed.<br \/>\nOver time, the tower lost its function as a defense of the Tagus bar and, after the Filipino occupation, the old magazines gave way to dungeons. On the four floors of the tower, the Sala do Governador, the Sala dos Reis, the Sala de Audi\u00eancias and, finally, the Chapel with its characteristic 16th-century vaults remain. The Tower of S\u00e3o Vicente (1514) belongs to a defense formation of the Tagus basin, built by Jo\u00e3o II of Portugal, composed to the south by the tower of S\u00e3o Sebasti\u00e3o da Caparica (1481) and to the west by the Tower of Santo Ant\u00f3nio de Cascais ( 1488).<br \/>\nThe monument stands out for its implicit nationalism, as it is surrounded by decorations from the Coat of Arms of Portugal, including inscriptions of crosses of the Order of Christ on the bastion windows; such characteristics refer mainly to the typical architecture of a time when the country was a global power (at the beginning of the Modern Age).<br \/>\nAlong with the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery, it was classified in 1983 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and elected as one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal in 2007.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrimoniocultural.gov.pt\/pt\/museus-e-monumentos\/dgpc\/m\/torre-de-belem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit website<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.pt\/maps\/dir\/Hotel+AS+Lisboa,+Avenida+Almirante+Reis,+Lisboa\/Torre+de+Bel%C3%A9m,+Av.+Bras%C3%ADlia,+Lisboa\/@38.7146135,-9.2512689,12z\/data=!3m2!4b1!5s0xd1933125bd3f99d:0xe04e7fc923c08a0!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0xd19339756bd24ef:0x4ace5fd92cad23f4!2m2!1d-9.1335764!2d38.7376617!1m5!1m1!1s0xd1ecb42c3c29c4b:0x3002dcadcf52513f!2m2!1d-9.2159773!2d38.6915837!3e3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FIND ROUTE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Torre de Bel\u00e9m, formerly Torre de S\u00e3o Vicente alongside Bel\u00e9m, officially Torre de S\u00e3o Vicente, is a fortification located in the parish of Bel\u00e9m, municipality and district of Lisbon, in Portugal.
