From the Monument to the Discoveries, I then went to the Jeronimos Monastery, another UNESCO World Heritage monument.

According to UNESCO, it was declared a world heritage monument because…
“Standing at the entrance to Lisbon harbour, the Monastery of the Hieronymites – construction of which began in 1502 – exemplifies Portuguese art at its best.”

Indeed, the monastery is magnificent! It actually gave me goosebumps.
And I’ve just recently known that it is Vasco da Gama’s resting place.

Entrance fee is 8 Euros but it was a Sunday so the fee was waived!
You still have to go through registration, though.

Inside, the monastery is even more beautiful:

I took a lot of photos inside the monastery but I’ve only uploaded some.
You may view the slide show or visit the album itself. I also took a video that can be viewed HERE.
Enjoy!
