Afonso Henriques, the first King of Portugal in 1147.

Portugal was the first global empire in the world and everything
started in this lovely district called Belém. Vessels left its harbors to
navigate through the unknown, facing the dangerous of the Oceans to discover new land, build churches, forts and cities, making Portugal one of the most powerful Empires in the World.
Belém is also considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the city, with its many historical buildings and famous UNESCO heritage sites, the Jeronimos Monastery and the Tower of Belém. Both were idealized by King D. Manuel I and built in a unique architecture style that become to be known as the "Manueline Style".
Those two sites would be enough to convince anybody to visit this area, but we'll also see the incredible Monument to the Discoveries, the impressive Presidential Palace, the modern Maat (Museum of Art, architecture and Technology), the Compass Rose and have the chance to try the delicious and famous "pastéis de nata" from the original shop.
