Jerónimos Monastery
Obtain tickets to visit the Jerónimos Monastery, an esteemed national monument designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated close to Lisbon. Within its walls, the church has been revered as a monument to local luminaries like Luís de Camões and Vasco da Gama. Observe mythical creatures such as gargoyles and marine animals intricately carved into the columns, arches, and other decorative elements throughout the monastery. Wander through the 16th-century cloister and glimpse into the erstwhile monks’ refectory.
National Museum of Ancient Art
The National Museum of Ancient Art boasts a diverse collection of over 40,000 artworks and cultural artifacts, making it a must-visit destination for those intrigued by Portuguese art from the Middle Ages to the early 19th century. It stands as one of the country's premier museums.
Discover masterpieces by renowned Portuguese artists such as Nuno Gonçalves and Vasco Fernandes, alongside Flemish paintings by the likes of Bosch and Rubens. Be sure to observe prints and drawings from prominent figures like Dürer and Rembrandt. The museum also showcases decorative arts, including pottery, textiles, and metalwork.
During your visit, don't overlook the 15th-century St. Vincent Panels and the extraordinary solid gold Cross of Dom Sancho I, both of which are significant highlights of the museum's collection.
National Museum of Contemporary Art
Established in 1911, the National Museum of Contemporary Art initially housed its collection within the ruins of the São Francisco da Cidade monastery, heavily damaged during the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. The museum proudly features renowned pieces by celebrated artists including Rodin, Abel Manta, and Adriano Sousa Lopes. As you wander through the galleries, you'll encounter a wide array of artistic styles spanning from the late 19th century to the present day.
