* Belém Tower was built in honour of São Vicente, the Lisbon patron saint, exactly in the same place where previously the Great Ship (Grande Nau) was anchored [1520], accordingly to the triangular defence plan, conceived by the King João II [1455-1495], between the Bastion of Cascais, the St António Tower and the Bastion of Caparica, the Fortress of St. Sebastião, also known as the Old Tower. The Belém Tower is classified as Portuguese National Monument (190/) and belongs to World Heritage of Humanity by Unesco (1983).
