Hello Gentlemen,
Jerónimos Monastery - A masterpiece of Portuguese architecture, the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Belém, commonly known as Jerónimos Monastery as it was intended for the Order of São Jerome, was classified National Monument in 1907 and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983. The church, with religious service and visiting hours, and the cloister, secularized in the nineteenth century, form the most visited heritage complex in the country.
The building was commissioned by King Manuel I, whose reign lasted between 1495 and 1521, and required large financial resources and very demanding artistic resources, made available by the powerful patron. It is located in one of the most qualified areas of Lisbon, a historical and monumental setting next to the Tagus River, where the ships and caravels departed at the time of the Discoveries.
