Groundspeak Regular MemberTeam Jackal visited Belem Tower / Torre de Belem - Lisboa
I have photos of this place but they are all prints, I have this new fangled scanner that is supposed to transfer things into digital, but I have yet to use it because I can't figure it out, when I do, I will upload photos. I was here many years ago. I was traveling with friends and we came here. We were able to get in and walk around, mostly on top. The fellow standing there told me a story that has stuck with me for years. Since the tower is in the harbour it is effected by the tides and they would put prisoners in the dungeon and wait for the tide to come in and drown them, slowly! Good grief! That story has always bothered me. Anyway, it was a great trip to Portugal, one I will not forget, I spent almost a month there.
