Description
The Tower of Belem was the first sign of home and became a symbolic icon for the intrepid explorers or conscript crews. The slow flow of the River Tejo combined with tectonic movements (such as the 1755 earthquake) have narrowed the mouth of the Tejo so that now the Tower of Belem lies on the edge of Belem's green parks. The fort is known affectionately by Lisbon’s residence as the Torre de Belem but the towers official name is the Torre de Sao Vicente.
