2. The Torre de Belém, formerly Torre de São Vicente, is a fortification located in Belém, on the right bank of the Tagus River, where Belém beach once existed, it was originally surrounded by water along its entire perimeter. Over the centuries it was surrounded by the beach, until today it became part of dry land. One of the city's ex libris, the monument is an architectural icon of the reign of D. Manuel I. Over time, the tower lost its function of defending the Tagus River and, following the Philippine occupation, the old warehouses gave way to dungeons. On the four floors of the tower, the Governor's Room, the Kings Room, the Audience Room and, finally, the Chapel with its characteristic 16th century vaults remain. The Tower of São Vicente (1514) belongs to a formation defending the Tagus basin ordered to be erected by João II of Portugal, composed to the south by the tower of São Sebastião da Caparica (1481) and to the west by the Tower of Santo António de Cascais ( 1488).

4. The request made by King D. Manuel to the Holy See dates back to 1496, asking for authorization to build a large monastery at the entrance to Lisbon, close to the banks of the Tagus. In 1501 work began and, approximately a century later, the works were completed. The Jerónimos Monastery is usually considered the "jewel" of the Manueline style. This exclusively Portuguese style integrates architectural elements from the late Gothic and Renaissance, associating it with a Christological and naturalistic royal symbolism, which makes it unique and worthy of admiration. To occupy the Monastery, D. Manuel chose the monks of the Order of S. Jerónimo, whose functions, among others, would be to pray for the king's soul and provide spiritual assistance to sailors and navigators who left Restelo beach to discover other worlds. .

About Lissabon

Lissabon fällt von seinen Hügeln zum Tejo hinab: Kachelfassaden, rumpelnde gelbe Trams, Aussichtsterrassen und späte, gemütliche Abendessen.

In den alten Vierteln steckt der meiste Charme. Alfamas Gassengewirr steigt zur Burg São Jorge an und hallt abends vom Fado wider, das geordnete Raster der Baixa führt hinab zur weiten Praça do Comércio am Fluss, und Bairro Alto und Chiado verbinden tagsüber Buchläden und Cafés mit Bars bei Nacht. Aussichtspunkte wie Santa Luzia und Senhora do Monte rahmen rote Dächer und glitzerndes Wasser.

Top-ranked sights in Lissabon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
