About Monastery of Jerónimos
The 16th-century Monastery of Jerónimos, a National Monument and UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983, graces Lisbon's historic riverside. Its monumental facade, about 300 meters long, showcases the South Portal adorned with images of Portugal's Patron Saint, St. Michael the Archangel, and Our Lady of Belém.
Built in the late 1400s under King Manuel I, the Jerónimos Monastery pays homage to the Age of Discoveries. Serving as a refuge for seafarers and a haven for praying monks at the embarkation point of Vasco da Gama's journey to India, it was funded by a 5% tax on foreign imports, reflecting Portugal's flourishing success.
The monastery's central courtyard, where pastéis de nata (also known as pastéis de Belém) was crafted, holds a culinary secret. Developed by the monks residing here, this beloved Portuguese pastry's recipe predates its first recorded sale in the 1830s by over a century.
Built over the 1500s, the Jerónimos Monastery showcases Manueline-style architecture, named after King Manuel I. Influenced by sea voyages, it integrates maritime and religious symbols, including anchors and ropes. Gothic and Renaissance styles further enrich the building's design, leaving visitors in awe.
Selected monks from the Hieronymites religious order, chosen by King Manuel I, resided here, earning the monastery its alternate name—the Hieronymites Monastery.
The final resting place of King Manuel I and his family, as well as notable members of the House of Aviz, the Jerónimos Monastery is also the burial ground for renowned figures like Fernando Pessoa, Luís de Camões, and navigator Vasco da Gama.
