See pass compatibility below ↓Overview & History
Belém Tower is a UNESCO World Heritage fortress built on the Tagus riverbank to defend Lisbon's harbor during the Age of Discovery. Its Manueline-style turrets and battlements make it one of Portugal's most photographed landmarks, reached today by a wooden footbridge over the river.
What to See: Top Highlights
The Bulwark & Battery
A wide, modern-for-its-time artillery platform surrounding the tower's base, once ringed with cannons.
The Tower Itself
Four vaulted rooms rising above the bulwark, with Manueline stone carving — ropes, knots, and armillary spheres.
The Riverside Loggia
An open balcony on the tower's south face, built to host royal ceremonies welcoming ships home.
