In Lisbon, one cannot pass by a unique monument of Portuguese Renaissance architecture - the Belem Tower, towering over the waters of the Tagus River. The Portuguese erected this fortified fort in honor of the famous expedition of the navigator Vasco da Gama, who opened the way to India.

The tower was originally conceived as a five-tier fortress-lighthouse. Its construction was carried out in the period from 1515 to 1521 under King Manuel I. It was from here that the brave Portuguese navigators set off in search of new trade routes. Some time ago, the Tower served as a prison and armory.

The tower is richly decorated with images of ropes, openwork balconies, Arabic-style turrets, battlements and even the coats of arms of a knightly order. This magnificent building, whose height is 35 meters, is considered the brightest example of the late Gothic "Manueline" style, typical of Portuguese architecture. Starting from the 19th century, this monument was chosen by romantics and it began to attract travelers. In 1983, the tower was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The Bugio Lighthouse is located on an island at the mouth of the Tagus River on the fort of São Lourenço do Bugio, about ten kilometers west of Lisbon. It is administered by the municipality of Oeiras in the district of Lisbon.
