Belem Tower: Portugal’s maritime history

For a small nation, Portugal’s maritime history is staggering. One place to get a real sense of this is Belem, just a 5km tram ride from the centre of Lisbon. One of the key attractions here is the 16th century Belem tower, which served as the ceremonial gateway for explorers returning from the new world during the age of discovery. Whilst in the area be sure to check out the joint UNESCO world heritage site of Jeronimos monastery and the home of the orginal Pastel De Nata, Pasteis de Belem #portugal🇵🇹 #lisbon
