Lisbon’s Iconic Monument Threatened By Rising Sea Levels

A detailed view of the Belem Tower in Lisbon, Portugal, on December 2, 2023, shows the iconic World Heritage site. The average sea level is rising rapidly, and increasingly intense and frequent heat waves are threatening to reach the cliffs of the Belem Tower, which could be severely damaged or flooded in the near future.
