Belem Tower in Lisbon Portugal History and Aerial View - 4K UHD

According to Wikipedia, Torre de Belém, formerly Torre de São Vicente alongside Belém, officially Torre de São Vicente, is a fortification located in the parish of Belém, municipality and district of Lisbon, in Portugal. On the right bank of the Tagus River, where the beach of Belém once existed, it was originally surrounded by water around its entire perimeter. Over the centuries it was surrounded by the beach, until today it is incorporated into the mainland. One of the city's landmarks, the monument is an architectural icon of the reign of King Manuel I, in a synthesis between the traditional medieval keep and the modern bulwark, where artillery pieces were placed.
Over time, the tower lost its function of defending the Tagus bar and, after the Philippine occupation, the old magazines gave way to dungeons. On the four floors of the tower, the Governor's Room, the King's Room, the Audience Room and, finally, the Chapel with its characteristic 16th century vaults remain. The Tower of São Vicente (1514) belongs to a defense formation of the Tagus basin ordered by João II of Portugal, composed to the south by the tower of São Sebastião da Caparica (1481) and to the west by the Tower of Santo António de Cascais ( 1488).
The monument stands out for its implicit nationalism, as it is entirely surrounded by decorations of the Coat of Arms of Portugal, including inscriptions of crosses of the Order of Christ on the bastion windows; such characteristics refer mainly to the typical architecture of a time when the country was a global power (at the beginning of the Modern Age).
Together with the Jerónimos Monastery, it was classified in 1983 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and elected as one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal in 2007. In 2015, it was visited by more than 608,000 tourists.

Este documentário serve também para dar uma lição aos fundamentalistas das alterações climáticas. A Torre foi edificada quase equidistante de ambas as margens do rio e junto ao mosteiro era a praia do restelo, vejam lá...agora se o rio galga a margem é o ai jesus,,,
