The Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was begun in 1501 and took nearly a century to complete. The exquisite stone carvings on the South Portal, including the statue of Henry the Navigator, make it a jewel of the Manueline architectural style. Perfect for historical insights, a weekday visit offers fewer crowds and ample time to explore the cloisters in peace.
