Interiors of the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, Portugal

Visit one of Lisbon’s most significant landmarks – the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Belém, more commonly known as, Jerónimos Monastery.

Highlights

Discover this masterpiece of Portuguese architecture, Jerónimos Monastery, with its detailed structural cloisters, corridors, vaulted ceilings, and decorative entrance.
As this monastery was built as a tribute to Vasco da Gama’s successful journey to India (and to sea explorers), you’ll spot different maritime influences and creatures in the architecture.
Take a stroll through the garden and admire the fountain, decorated with Portuguese coats of arms.
Create a hassle-free itinerary with a Lisbon Card which will give you access to sites like the Belém Tower, the National Costume Museum, the National Museum of the Azulejo, and more, with free transportation.
Fun fact: The Virgin Mary is the patron saint of this monastery, which richly showcases the Portuguese Late Gothic ‘Manueline’ style of architecture.

Our guide was excellent and took the time to answer questions. The museum's architecture and the story of St Jerome were amazing.

I really liked the cloister, the ornamentation of the columns and capitals is very rich. I find the Manueline style very interesting. Also the sacritistia with the wood and leather furniture and the very unique books.

Reservation ok but the line to get in was long and not distinguished between those who had to make the bilietto and those who already had a reservation. In other places you would skip the line directly if you had the ticket already reserved. Overall

The cloisters were beautiful. But the long ticket holder line required a wait of an hour and a half in the sun. In addition, access to the church was not included which was not clear in description.

I loved the cloister and so did my family. The treatment of the staff working there is quite regular. The place is 100% recommendable, it is beautiful.

Your experience

A Portuguese national monument since 1907 and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983, the Jerónimos Monastery is one of the highest symbols of medieval Portuguese architecture. Historically and artistically connected to the Belém Tower, both these notable landmarks of Lisbon were built on the initiative of King Manuel I, who ruled between 1495 and 1521. The Belém Tower was built not only to protect the port of Lisbon but also for the Jerónimos Monastery.

Soak up the different elements that make up this stunning model of Manueline architectural style including Gothic, Moorish, and Renaissance styles. The two levels of cloisters are so intricate and filled with structural detail that they took a hundred years to be completed! Spot mythical creatures like gargoyles and marine animals within the carvings, columns, and arches. Don’t miss the vaulted ceilings on the lower level of the monastery or the views from the higher level of the adjacent Church of Santa Maria de Belém.

Optional upgrade with the Lisbon Card
