Jerónimos Monastery
The Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) is a late Gothic Manueline monastery in Belém, Lisbon, built from the early 1500s as a Hieronymite house and royal funerary church. It is a large limestone complex with church, cloisters and monastic ranges that formed a burial place for the Portuguese royal dynasty and served religious and maritime‑assistance functions.

As it stood in 1604
The shape it held in its prime.
A long two‑storey monastery block of warm, cream‑coloured lioz limestone with a red clay‑tile roof; the ground floor is a sequence of large pointed arcades and doorways, the upper level punctured by arched mullioned windows set in richly carved surrounds. Vertical buttressed bays rise into pinnacles and openwork finials; a tall, ornamented tower with a spire crowns the western end while a squat tower marks the eastern end. Stone surfaces show carved maritime and vegetal Manueline ornament.
