In the city\u2019s east end, the Tower was not only an urban landmark but also marked the northern end of the riverbank in the exposition area.<\/p>\n<p>The allusion to the ancient Portuguese ships is clear to see in the design by Leonor Janeiro (Profabril) and Nick Jacobs (SOM \u2013 Skidmore, Owings and Merril). With a height of 140 metres, the vertical beam is reinforced by a metal structure which emulates a sail with the wind behind it. The addition of a circular panoramic restaurant at the top was inspired by the shape of a crow\u2019s nest, whilst the front edge of the building jutting out over the water is reminiscent of the hull of a ship. During Expo\u201998 the Vasco da Gama Tower housed the European Union Pavilion.<\/p>\n<p>A 5-star hotel was recently built alongside the Vasco da Gama Tower, which is still open for visits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panoramic view At the behest of the people in charge of Expo\u201998, the Vasco da Gama tower was erected as a counterpoint to the iconic &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":727,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":[],"categories":[38,36],"tags":[37],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 -
