 | | Not far away along the river is the Tower of Belem, the often photographed example of Manueline architecture. |
 | | The castle is now the beautiful Pousada da Rainha Santa Isabel, through which we were permitted access to the tower, from the top of which are superb views of the surrounding countryside. |
