The discoveries of Portuguese navigators made Lisbon the main commercial centre of the world in the 15th and 16th centuries. To protect the city, King João II conceived this project to defend Lisbon from enemy ships, which was completed in 1514 and included the construction of the Belém Tower by architect Francisco de Arruda.

The tower's unique design includes a modern, heavily armed bastion that juts out over the river. King Manuel I wanted the Belém Tower to be a lasting symbol of his powerful reign by depicting the royal coat of arms, the armillary sphere and the cross of the Order of Christ.
