João V bought it from the Count of Aveiras, having radically altered it. At the time of the 1755 earthquake, the monarch D. José I and his family were spending the holiday in the Belém area and survived the devastation. Fearing another earthquake, the royal family settled in tents on the grounds of the palace, whose interior was used as a hospital. D. Maria II inhabited the Palace of Belém for a few years (when the Palácio das Necessidades was under construction) From the reign of D. Luís I, the Palace of Belém was destined to receive the official guests that visited Lisbon. In 1886, a new mission was given to the Palace of Belém, the official residence of the Royal Princes D.

The Tower of São Vicente (1514) belongs to a defense formation of the Tagus basin ordered by João II of Portugal, composed to the south by the tower of São Sebastião da Caparica (1481) and to the west by the Tower of Santo António de Cascais ( 1488).
