Take a tour of Clerigos Tower in Porto, Portugal - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Clerigos Tower in Porto, Portugal can be used as a guide for getting around the city.
The baroque church which stands in front of the tower was designed by a prominent Italian architect and was built in the 18th century.
Hundreds of steps lead to the top of this nearly 76 meter tower, which provides an expansive view of the area.
In keeping with the style of the church, this structure represents Roman Baroque architecture and is modeled after Tuscan bell towers.
The tower took approximately 9 years to build and, like the church, is adorned with intricate decorations such as shells and garlands.
