One of the most prominent examples of the Portuguese Late Gothic Manueline style of architecture in Lisbon. Jeronimos Monastery was classified a UNESCO World Heritage site along with the nearby Tower of Belem, in 1983.
The monastery was designed in a manner that later became known as Manueline: a richly ornate architectural style with complex sculptural themes incorporating maritime elements and objects discovered during naval expeditions, cared in limestone.
Church of Santa Maria (on the right) has its own unique architecture on both exterior and interior.
