Jeronimos Monastery
Commissioned in the late 15th century by King Manuel I, Jeronimos Monastery epitomizes Portuguese Gothic architecture. Its cloisters, completed in 1544, are intricately carved with maritime motifs and serve as a tribute to Vasco da Gama's voyages, whose tomb lies within. A masterpiece of Manueline style, it offers a spiritual retreat for history buffs.
