The Belém Tower, formerly known as the Tower of São Vicente at Par de Belém, officially the Tower of São Vicente, is a fortification located in the parish of Belém, municipality and district of Lisbon, Portugal. On the right bank of the Tagus River, where the Belém beach once existed, it was originally surrounded by water on all sides. Over the centuries, it was surrounded by the beach until it became part of the mainland today. One of the city's landmarks, the monument is an icon of the architecture of the reign of King Manuel I, in a synthesis between the keep tower of medieval tradition and the modern bulwark, where artillery pieces were placed.
