[World Heritage] Portugal's most beautiful monastery
📍 Jeronimos Monastery ⛪️\ Mosteiro dos Jeronimos /
A must-see tourist spot in Lisbon, Portugal.
If you come to Portugal🇵🇹, it's a place you should definitely visit🥹💕
That's...
The Jeronimos Monastery, one of the World Heritage Sites.
Construction began in the early 16th century and took about 300 years to complete, and you'll be overwhelmed by the gorgeous building.
It's a gorgeous and gorgeous building that evokes the era of sea route development,
and is said to be the greatest masterpiece of Manueline architecture.
The scale of the building is amazing, but if you look closely at the exterior walls, you'll see that there are many carved motifs representing the Age of Discovery, such as coral reefs, shells, and ships, and you'll be amazed at how intricate they are😭✨
Another highlight is the beautiful courtyard surrounded by a two-story corridor measuring about 55m square‼ ︎
The contrast between the lawn in the courtyard, the blue sky, and the building was so beautiful that I forgot I was in a monastery and felt like I was in a museum 🥹🤍
And one more thing you shouldn't forget is the "Basilica of Santa Maria".
The entrance here is separate from the monastery, so if you only visit the monastery and go outside, you will miss it, so be careful! ︎
Be sure to enter through the separate entrance next to the monastery 🙌🏽
This is the most beautiful part of the Jeronimos Monastery,
with its intricately carved statues that are said to be particularly wonderful. 💕
First of all, the high ceilings and beautiful stained glass are captivating 🥹🥹
The atmosphere of the pillars with palm tree motifs and the sculptures on the arched ceiling is also wonderful.
As it is a popular tourist spot,
be sure to purchase a time-specified admission ticket in advance and visit first thing in the morning! ︎
There is a long wait time to enter around lunchtime 😇💦
