Mosteiro dos Jerónimos (Jerónimos Monastery)

The most impressive symbol of Portugal’s wealth during the age of discovery, this 16th century monastery is one of few surviving examples of medieval Manueline architecture, characterised by maritime motifs. It’s the resting place of Vasco da Gama, who set sail from Bélem in 1497 to discover India, and the famous Portuguese poet Luís de Camões.
