The See is the most important religious building of Lisbon. It’s located near the gates of the old city’s walls, near the road that enters the Castle.
It’s a fortified church built in late Romanic style with marks of many reconstruction campaigns: gothic, renascence, baroque, pombaline (other typical Portuguese style) and others.
Built in stone, the tower was inaugurated in 1960. It brings you back to the time of the Portuguese marine expansion of the 16thcentury.
It rises like a stone caravel anchored in Tejo, the biggest river in the country.
It’s decorated by a serie of sculptures of important personalities of the time, like infante Henry.
The “Padrão” is built in a unique monumental zone – Belém – which includes amazing monuments like the Tower of Belém and the Jeronimo’s Monastery.
