Pass By: Torre de Belem, Avenida Brasilia - Belem, Lisbon 1400-038 Portugal

Situated on the right bank of the Tagus River, the Belém Tower, dating from 1904, is a National Heritage Site and one of the city's "ex libris". The monument is an icon of the architecture of the reign of King Manuel I of Portugal and was part of a tripartite defense system between the Cascais bastion and the fortress of S. Sebastião da Caparica, on the opposite bank of the river.
Over time, the tower lost its defense function of the Tagus bar and, from the Philippine occupation, the old storerooms gave way to dungeons. On the four floors of the tower are the Governor's Room, the Kings Room, the Audience Room and finally the Chapel with its characteristic 16th century vaults.

The Monument to the Discoveries (or Monument to the Discoverers; or Monument to the Navigators), which stands out on the right bank of the Tagus River, was erected in 1940, during the Portuguese World Exposition, to honor the historical figures involved in the Portuguese Discoveries. The current replica, in concrete and stone, was inaugurated in 1960.

Over the entrance, the sword of the House Royal Avis. D. Henrique the Navigator stands at the bow, with a caravel in his right hand and a map on his left. In two descending rows, on either side of the monument, are the statues of notable Portuguese linked to the discoveries (navigators, warriors, friars, scientists and men of culture).
Inside the monument, which today houses the Discoveries Cultural Center, there is an auditorium and two exhibition rooms on the lower floor. At the top, you can visit the viewpoint from where you can enjoy a nice view over Belém and the Tagus River.
