Belem Tower with a beautiful view, replica of the one in Lisbon, houses the Museu do Mar recalling stories related to fishing

Built between 1918 and 1921, this is a much smaller replica of the one in Lisbon. You have to climb to the very top to get a good view of the rooftops and fish markets, perfect for discreetly snapping photos of the women shucking the day's catch. The tower now houses the Museu do Mar, presenting snippets of fishing-related history, objects, photos and poetry, an interesting but still incipient educational initiative. Of particular note are the metal crucifixes used to convert slaves.

A reproduction but in very small, we almost pass without noticing it! not far from the market in the past, on the waterfront.
Interesting enough for the view from above when it is open (the timetable is not always respected)
