What happens
Commissioned by Manuel I, the Tower of Belem was built in the early 16th century in order to defend the mouth of the Tagus River. It was built in the Manueline, or Portuguese late Gothic, style. The tower was improved in 1571, but fell after only a few hours siege in 1580 to the forces of the Spanish Duke of Alba. The dungeons of the Tower later served as a prison.
