EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tower of Belem in Lison, Portugal, is a stunning architectural masterpiece that has stood the test of time. This iconic landmark, built in 1519, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of the Age of Discoveries. The Tower of Belem, also known as the Tower of St. Vincent, was commissioned by King Manuel I to celebrate the return of Vasco da Gama from his historic voyage to India. This breathtaking photograph, taken in 2010, captures the beauty and grandeur of the Tower in all its glory. The intricate details of the Manueline architecture are on full display, with its ornate carvings, gargoyles, and intricate stonework. The tower's location on the Tagus River adds to its allure, with the water reflecting the golden hues of the setting sun. The serene scene is further enhanced by the presence of a group of kayaks in the foreground. The kayaks, with their bright colors and sleek designs, provide a stark contrast to the old-world charm of the Tower. They also serve as a reminder of the modern world that has evolved around this historic site. The Tower of Belem is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Portugal. It is a testament to the country's rich history and cultural heritage, and a reminder of the explorations that put Portugal on the map. This photograph captures the essence of the Tower and the surrounding area, making it a beautiful addition to any home or office.
