A must-see tourist attraction in Portugal

Lead: Portugal is a country that many domestic and foreign tourists like to go to. The following are the tourist attractions that I will share with you in Portugal. Welcome to learn from them!

1, Jerome Abbey and Belaime Tower in Lisbon.

Jerome Abbey, located at the entrance of Lisbon Port, was built in 1502, which is the best example of the peak of Portuguese art. The Belaime Tower next to it was built to commemorate the voyage of the navigator vasco da gama, and it tells people about the great sailing era that laid the foundation of the modern world. Francisco de Arruda's contribution is reflected in the architectural form, precise symmetry and decoration of the tower, which are all influenced by Islamic countries and eastern countries. The most prominent feature of the building-the segmented roof on the corner of Byzantine fully illustrates this point. As a symbol of the king's privilege, these decorations contain all the symbols of Manuel's era. The wires surround the building and end with beautiful knots. There are also many balls made of rings, crosses and natural objects symbolizing Christian military orders, such as rhinoceros, which first appeared on stones in Europe. This provides a basis for summarizing the characteristics of the west-facing turret, and it is also evidence of the integration of Portuguese architectural culture and other national cultures. With the passage of time, the tower has undergone numerous changes.

Step 2 discover the monument

Padro dos Descobrimentos is a monument in Portugal to commemorate the navigation times from 15 to 16 century, and it is also one of the famous landmarks in Lisbon.

The historical sites of this city have a profound influence on Portuguese architecture in Brazil. /kloc-in the 6th century, conventional urban planning and design developed radially along the top of the mountain. In the ancient irregular city center, some city squares extended to the starting point of the planning axis, forming a whole building. Between these axes is a road network composed of narrow streets, most of which are straight lines, extending from one building group to another in different directions. Three successive urban defense systems (Rome, Medieval and Vauban) guarded the city. Between the brick wall surrounded by the garden and the brick wall ruins, the low-powder house with sloping roof forms a unified whole building, and cast iron and ceramic tiles make this feature more prominent.
