Belem Tower Lisbon Portugal : Tours and Excursion

A tour in Lisbon can include a visit to the Belem Tower. The Belem Tower, otherwise referred to as the Tower of St Vincent is a strengthened tower that is situated in the civil parish of Santa Maria de Belem in the municipality of Lisbon, Portugal.  

A guide in Lisbon is able to show you this magnificent landmark.  The edifice is comprised of a rectangular tower and an asymmetrical, hexagonal supporter, displaying extended flanks protruding south into the river. It is mainly an enormous vertical area sitting on a horizontal section of stone sheltered by masonry enclosures. On the northeast angle of the structure there is a secured drawbridge allowing the barricade to be reached.  On the outer portion of the lower support, the walls have room for 17 cannons that contain an opening providing a view of the river that a private guide in Lisbon brings tourists to see.  

The Belem Tower has four stories and was constructed using a beige-white limestone indigenous to the Lisbon area.  The two-part building is divided into the fortress and the four story tower positioned on the north side of the fortress.  Your excursion in Lisbon will be remembered in years to come.
