Vasco da Gama Tower - Lisboa, Portugal - Googie Architecture on Waymarking.com

"Lisbon’s tallest skyscraper, at 145 metres, merits a visit and rewards you with one of the most special views in the city.

Built on the riverfront in Parque das Nações, in profile the Torre Vasco da Gama looks like a swollen sail, evoking the countless ships that departed the Tagus to discover the world.

Designed by Nick Jacobs and Leonor Janeiro, the building is an impressive landmark.
Built as an observation tower, with panoramic elevators, Torre Vasco da Gama is now a panoramic and exquisite restaurant."

The revolving restaurant and mirador is an UFO with the glasses and iron.
