The
Belèm district is three miles from downtown
Lisbon and it's full of interesting sites, like the
Coach Museum,
Monastery of Jerònimos and the
Belèm Tower. The stunning
Manueline architecture reminded both
Jeff and I of our trip to
Lecce a few years ago. These structures survived the 1775 earthquake, so it was really interesting to see some of the original structures of Lisbon. Belèm was also the send-off point for explorers during the Age of Discovery.
