I visited Jerónimos Monastery in Lisboa it is a beautiful monastery. It is so impressive that it was classified an Unesco World Heritage Site in 1983.

The Jerónimos Monastery or Hieronymites Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Portuguese pronunciation: [muʃˈtɐjɾu duʃ ʒɨˈɾɔnimuʃ]), is a monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome near the Tagus river in the parish of Belém, in the Lisbon Municipality, Portugal. The monastery is one of the most prominent examples of the Portuguese Late Gothic Manueline style of architecture in Lisbon. It was classified a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém, in 1983. SOURCE

The architecture is stunning

I can't believe this was build over 500years ago

Tomb of Luis Vaz de Camões

On my travel I am staying in skyscrapers all the time but I salute every time when I enter a church or see buildings which were designed and build a couple of hundred years ago. These days everything is done by computers, but it is amazing how our ancestors were able to build these incredible buildings and churches.

Jerónimos Monastery is a must visit for everybody going to Lisboa!
