SOUVENIR COASTER
Belém Tower
(Portuguese:
Torre de Belém
,
pronounced:
[ˈtoʁ(ɨ) dɨ bɨˈlɐ̃ȷ̃]
) or the
Tower of St Vincent
is a fortified tower located in the civil parish of
Santa Maria de Belém
in the municipality of
Lisbon
,
Portugal
. It is a
UNESCO
World Heritage Site
(along with the nearby
Jerónimos Monastery
)because of the significant role it played in the Portuguese maritime discoveries of the era of 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 tower was built in the early 16th century and is a prominent example of the Portuguese
Manueline
style, but it also incorporates hints of other architectural styles. The structure was built from lioz
limestone
and is composed of a
bastion
and the 30 m (100 foot), four storey tower. It has incorrectly been stated that the tower was built in the middle of the Tagus and now sits near the shore because the river was redirected after the
1755 Lisbon earthquake
. In fact, the tower was built on a small island in the Tagus River near the Lisbon shore.
