Pedro Pereira

"This tower is a false lighthouse that never worked. It was built for the Portuguese World Exhibition in 1940, forming part of the stories of the discoveries, being just a tourist element located between the Belém Tower and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos.
Being just a tourist element, it is located between the Belém Tower on one side and the Monument to the Discoveries on the other, on the sidewalk next to the Tagus River.
In its structure there is everything that is part of a lighthouse, tower, balcony, lantern and dome, with the exception of the lighting system."
