Exploring Lisbon's Historical Treasures
Belém Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was constructed in the early 16th century as part of a defense system for the Tagus River and to commemorate Vasco da Gama's successful voyage to India.

As you explore its towers and battlements, take note of the stunning views over the river that once welcomed explorers returning home.
The Jerónimos Monastery is another remarkable example of Manueline architecture built in honor of Vasco da Gama's journey; it took nearly 100 years to complete during Portugal’s golden age. This magnificent structure not only served as a monastery but also housed royal tombs, including that of Da Gama himself—making it an important pilgrimage site for those wishing to pay their respects. Inside, you'll be captivated by ornate carvings and grand cloisters that echo with centuries-old stories steeped in exploration and faith.
São Jorge Castle stands proudly atop one of Lisbon's highest hills, offering breathtaking panoramic views over the cityscape below—a strategic location chosen by Moorish rulers back in the 11th century when they first built this fortress.
