Belém Tower, Lisbon

Belém Tower, Lisbon

Several people are seen walking around the Belem Tower, Lisbon. May 16, 2023. The ancient military construction located in the Portuguese capital, is a work of great importance in the Age of Discoveries in Europe, as it served as a fortress and as a port from where Portuguese explorers departed to establish what would be the first European trade in history with China and India. When it ceased to serve as a defense against invaders in the estuary of the Tejo River, it was used as a prison, as a lighthouse and also as a tax collection center to enter the city.
