    THE OLD TOWER

          38

    The Belém Tower was built in the early sixteenth century in the

    Portuguese late-Gothic style, the Manueline to commemorate Vasco da

    Gama's expedition. This defensive, yet elegant construction has

    become one of the symbols of the city, a memorial to Portuguese power

    as it was during the Age of Discovery. In 1983, it was classified as a

    UNESCO World Heritage Site.
