The Vasco da Gama Tower is Lisbons tallest
building but being located on the banks of the
estuary it does not appear so. There was once an
exclusive rotating restaurant and viewing
platform at the top but this closed hopefully
with the construction of the new 5-star hotel
this great viewpoint may one day re-open
44
The tower continued the Expo 98 theme of the
oceans, and was constructed to represent a ship's
mast with a crow's nest and a flag pole
