Inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, the Tower of Belém (or Tower of St. Vincent) is an icon of Portugal’s cultural heritage spread across the world. It is one of the architectural elements punctuating the cityscape of Lisbon’s monumental riverside area of Ajuda-Belém.
Perhaps one of Lisbon’s most iconic cultural destinations, the Jeronimos Monastery sits near the Tagus River and stands as one of Portugal’s best, well-maintained renaissance era buildings. With construction having begun in 1501, it is truly a destination in which the visitor is transported back in time.
Nestled atop one of Portugal’s stunning hills lies the Pena Palace, a national monument and UNESCO World Heritage Site. The palace is a truly unique example of 19th-century Romantic architecture, blending elements of different styles from Moorish to Gothic. A visit to the Pena Palace is like stepping into a fairytale – it’s no wonder that it has been inspiring artists and visitors for centuries.
