In 1502, King Manuel I ordered the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery to be built on the site of a hermitage that was founded by Prince Henry the Navigator. Ironically the hermitage, which was the predecessor of the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery, was also the place where Vasco da Gama and his crew spent their last night praying in Portugal before embarking on their voyage to India. The Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery was originally populated by the monks of the Order of Saint Jerome or the \u2018Hieronymites,\u2019 whose spiritual job was to provide guidance to sailors and to pray for the King\u2019s soul. When the religious orders were dissolved in 1883, the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery was abandoned by its people. Today, Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery is the final resting place for the Portuguese royal family. Over here, you can even find the tombs of Vasco da Gama, King Manuel, King Sebasti\u00e3o, and the famous Portuguese poets Fernando Pessoa and Alexandre Herculano. <\/p>\n<h2> Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery&#8217;s Unique Architecture<\/h2>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/7baf6cc4b3ae40a61ed350cd6612a217-jeronimos%20monastery%20Unique%20Architecture.jpg?fm=pjpg&amp;auto=compress&amp;w=1200&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" data-sizes=\"auto\" alt=\"jeronimos monastery Unique Architecture\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/7baf6cc4b3ae40a61ed350cd6612a217-jeronimos%20monastery%20Unique%20Architecture.jpg?fm=pjpg&amp;auto=compress&amp;w=1200&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"177477554\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\" sizes=\"888px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p>The Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery, which took almost one hundred years to build, is one of the finest and most beautiful examples of European Gothic or Manueline architecture. This architectural style is synonymous with glorifying the great \u2018discoveries\u2019 of the age and is characterized by elaborate sculptural details and maritime motifs. <\/p>\n<p>The ornate exteriors of the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery have richly detailed columns that are carved with maritime symbols such as coils of rope, sea monsters, corals, and other sea motifs that are evocative of the interest in world exploration at sea during that time. The ornate exterior of the monastery has scalloped arches, twisting turrets, gargoyles, and columns intertwined with leaves, vines, and knots.<\/p>\n<p>The former entrance to the Refectory can also be found here. With its beautifully reticulated vaulting and tile decorations on the walls that depict the Biblical story of Joseph, the Refectory hall is one of the highlights of the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery.  <\/p>\n<p>The grand exterior of the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery is complemented by its equally spacious interiors with octagonal piers that are richly decorated with reliefs. Outside the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery, you can even find a beautiful garden that has hedges trimmed in the shapes of the various municipal coats of arms of Portugal. This garden was laid out in 1940, and it leads to a small park that is faced by a row of sixteenth-century-style houses that are home to traditional restaurants with outdoor seating. <\/p>\n<h2> Inside Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery<\/h2>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/9fca833c8ba3dd77cfdb5721b0e08e35-Tomb%20of%20Fernando%20Pessoa.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=webp&amp;w=200&amp;h=200&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min&amp;q=30\" scale=\"0\" width=\"175\" height=\"175\" style=\"width: 200px;\" alt=\"jeronimos monastery\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"1151929850\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Tomb of Fernando Pessoa<\/h4>\n<p>Fernando Ant\u00f3nio Nogueira Pessoa was a Portuguese poet, writer, literary critic, translator, publisher, and philosopher known the world over.
