Interiors of the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, Portugal

Visit one of Lisbon’s most significant landmarks – the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Belém, more commonly known as, Jerónimos Monastery.

Highlights

Discover this masterpiece of Portuguese architecture, Jerónimos Monastery, with its detailed structural cloisters, corridors, vaulted ceilings, and decorative entrance.
As this monastery was built as a tribute to Vasco da Gama’s successful journey to India (and to sea explorers), you’ll spot different maritime influences and creatures in the architecture.
Take a stroll through the garden and admire the fountain, decorated with Portuguese coats of arms.
Create a hassle-free itinerary with a Lisbon Card which will give you access to sites like the Belém Tower, the National Costume Museum, the National Museum of the Azulejo, and more, with free transportation.
Fun fact: The Virgin Mary is the patron saint of this monastery, which richly showcases the Portuguese Late Gothic ‘Manueline’ style of architecture.

We booked a timeslot but when we arrived at the monastery we had to queue for 45minutes. Apparently they do not enforce the timeslots. Wouldn't have been so much of a problem but we only had a couple of hours in the area, so missed out on seeing other things.

We enjoyed visiting the monastery it was very beautiful but we didn't enjoy the long queue even though we had tickets. We would also have liked more information to help us when looking around particulalry in the refectory.

San Jerónimos monastery is an amazing piece of architecture. Although the wait to get in was quite long (about an hour) once in, there was plenty of space to see everything, take pictures and wander around. Absolutely worth it. Another line for the church but it moved more quickly. Also a must see and not crowded inside

I did not enjoy waiting in line for 40 minutes with an advanced ticket purchase. The view from within was very nice to see. Overall a 7 out of 10

Your experience

A Portuguese national monument since 1907 and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983, the Jerónimos Monastery is one of the highest symbols of medieval Portuguese architecture. Historically and artistically connected to the Belém Tower, both these notable landmarks of Lisbon were built on the initiative of King Manuel I, who ruled between 1495 and 1521. The Belém Tower was built not only to protect the port of Lisbon but also for the Jerónimos Monastery.

Soak up the different elements that make up this stunning model of Manueline architectural style including Gothic, Moorish, and Renaissance styles. The two levels of cloisters are so intricate and filled with structural detail that they took a hundred years to be completed! Spot mythical creatures like gargoyles and marine animals within the carvings, columns, and arches. Don’t miss the vaulted ceilings on the lower level of the monastery or the views from the higher level of the adjacent Church of Santa Maria de Belém.
