Erected on a flat plot of land next to the River Tagus without any other nearby constructions, the Maritime Traffic Control Tower of the Port of Lisbon, in Algés, is a 38-metre high building whose visual impact is enhanced due to its inclination towards the river.

The tower was inaugurated in 2001 and built in accordance with the project by the architect, Gonçalo Byrne. It has been equipped with state-of-the-art technology that enables it to orientate navigation of shipping vessels up to a distance of 16.5 nautical miles.
