Can someone add a reference to this: "However, in 1716 - 1726 the Portuguese king João V ordered the construction of a 7 m tall tower so that the peak could reach 2000 m. The location of this tower is known as "Torre" ("Tower", literally translated)." -- I don't think that Portugal used metric system in the early 18th century.
