The Belem Tower is an enduring symbol of Portugal's rich history, culture, and heritage. Originally named the 'Tower of Saint Vincent' in honor of Lisbon's patron saint, this 16th-century fortification graces the banks of the River Tagus. Its limestone structure and distinctive Manueline architecture, characterized by intricate details such as twisted ropes, armillary spheres, and Gothic motifs, make it a remarkable landmark. Comprising four stories, including the Governor's Room, Kings' Room, Audience Room, and vaulted chapel, the tower offers a glimpse into Portugal's past and architectural prowess. National Museum of Ancient Art The National Museum of Ancient Art boasts a diverse collection of over 40,000 artworks and cultural artifacts, making it a must-visit destination for those intrigued by Portuguese art from the Middle Ages to the early 19th century. Discover masterpieces by renowned Portuguese artists such as Nuno Gonçalves and Vasco Fernandes, alongside Flemish paintings by the likes of Bosch and Rubens. The museum also showcases decorative arts, including pottery, textiles, and metalwork. National Museum of Contemporary Art Established in 1911, the National Museum of Contemporary Art initially housed its collection within the ruins of the São Francisco da Cidade monastery, heavily damaged during the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. The museum proudly features renowned pieces by celebrated artists including Rodin, Abel Manta, and Adriano Sousa Lopes. As you wander through the galleries, you'll encounter a wide array of artistic styles spanning from the late 19th century to the present day.
