Stunning Architecture at Jerónimos Monastery

The Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon is truly stunning and definitely worth visiting. I’d suggest setting aside at least an hour to fully appreciate it. Construction began in 1501 and spanned nearly a century—showcasing an amazing example of Manueline architecture. The monastery features two beautiful cloisters with numerous rooms that once accommodated monks of the Order of Saint Jerome. It's a popular spot, so I advise arriving early due to crowds. The monastery opens at 9:30 AM and the church next door at 10:30 AM.
