Moods of Belem

The bastion of the Tower of Belem juts out into the harbor of Lisbon, Portugal. It is a jewel of Manueline architecture built in the early 16th century of white limestone during the reign of Manuel I and granted UNESCO Heritage status in 1983. It is an iconic landmark of Portuguese history.
