Torre de Belém (Mindelo)
Torre de Belém
A small castle by the Mindelo harbor, built in the style of Lisbon's Belém Tower. It now serves as a small museum showing the city's history and migrant culture.
This small tower was built in the early 20th century, modeled on the Manueline style of Lisbon's Belém Tower. It once served as a port and government office and is now a small museum presenting the history of the Mindelo harbor, the coal trade and music culture. Beside the tower are the fish market and the seaside avenue, which can be explored on foot along the way. Admission is inexpensive, and opening hours follow the on-site information.
