Torre de Belem

LISBOA!
 
One of the biggest tourist attractions in Lisbon is the Torre de Belem.
The tower wa built in the years 1515 - 1520, in the era of the great geographical discoveries.
 
The tower served a variety of functions:
- responsitory port,
- landmark for sailors returning
- prison
 
 
The tower is 35 meters high.
The lowest floors are under water.
 
 
The tower is beautiful.
I hope someday to visit her from the inside ;)
