Product Info
Learn how King Manuel I commissioned the monastery in 1496 to honor the Infante for his devotion to Our Lady and his faith in Saint Jerome.
As you enter the monastery, admire the Manueline or Portuguese late Gothic architecture. Discover how the Monastery of St. Mary of Belém was donated to the monks of the Order of Jerome. For this reason, it is commonly known as the Jerónimos Monastery.
When the order was dissolved in 1833, the convent was used as a school and orphanage until 1940. In the 19th century, the church became a monument to local heroes and poets such as Luís de Camões and Vasco da Gama.
Come and discover what is not only a remarkable architectural work, but also an important part of Portuguese identity and culture.
