Mosterio dos Jeronimos Lisbon

Inner courtyard at Mosterio dos Jeronimos
Originally uploaded by trexcali

The Mosterio dos Jeronimos in Lisbon is one of the city's most visited landmarks. A stunning example of Manueline architecture, the Mosterio is known for being the final resting place of Vasco da Gama, who himself inspired the building of the church in 1501.

With its nautical-themed decor and its impressive Mannerist altar, the Mosterio dos Jeronimos is a beautiful architectural gem. The Mosterio is also a Unesco World Heritage Site.

Located in Belem, the western part of Lisbon, the Mosterio dos Jeronimos is not within easy walking distance of central Lisbon. To get to the Mosterio from the city center, take tram 15 or bus 14 from Praca da Figueira.
