Roof Details Of Monastery Of St. Jerome

Ten minutes west of downtown along the banks of the Rio Tejo, the Belém district includes several of Lisbon's must-see sites. The 16th century Monastery of St. Jerome (Mosteiro de Jeronimos) is a must-visit; it teems with ornate stone carvings in the Manueline style (so named for King Manuel I who commissioned the monastery's construction to celebrate Vasco de Gama's seafaring voyage to India).

The church and the monastery, like the nearby Torre de Belém and Padrão dos Descobrimentos, symbolise the Portuguese Age of Discovery and is among the main tourist attractions of Lisbon. In 1983, UNESCO formally designated the Monastery of the Hieronymites and Tower of Belém as a World Heritage Site.
