EDITORS COMMENTS
Torre de Belem: A Symbol of Portugal and Spain's Rich History and Cultural Connection This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases the iconic Torre de Belem in Lisbon, Portugal. The square tower, standing proudly on the right side of the image, is a testament to the architectural grandeur of the past. Its intricate design, with its distinctive lantern at the top, has made it a symbol of Portugal's maritime history and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The wall on the left side of the image provides a striking contrast to the tower, with its rough texture and aged appearance. It serves as a reminder of the defensive structures that once protected the shores of Portugal and Spain from foreign invasions. The Torre de Belem was built in the late 15th century as part of the fortification system to defend the entrance to the Tagus River. It was also a symbol of the Age of Discoveries, an era when Portugal and Spain expanded their territories and influence around the world. The photograph is part of the Boswell collection, which documents the rich cultural and historical heritage of Portugal and Spain. The image captures the essence of the two countries' shared history, as well as their unique identities. The Torre de Belem stands as a reminder of the past, while also serving as a source of inspiration for future generations to explore and appreciate the wonders of these two remarkable nations.
