Detail of the Belem Tower near Lisbon, Portugal, the triangles are way on top of the tower (see picture below). " It is a fortified tower built in the early 16th century and located in the civil parish of Santa Maria de Belém in the municipality of Lisbon, Portugal. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (...) because of the significant role it played in the Portuguese maritime discoveries (...) The tower was commissioned by King John II to be part of a defense system at the mouth of the Tagus river and a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon" . Source. From my archives for ABC Wednesday

There had been a lot of fighting in Europe in the past, but I sincerely hope that we will have a future without any war here in Europe! The tower is a great reminder of the fighting in our countries.
