This incredible work of architectural art is among the most ornate and one of the largest monasteries in the world. The front entrance to the Jeronimos Monastery is a 32-meter-high doorway that is encircled with sculptures of saints and biblical figures. The gothic type of architecture provides a lot of open space, vaulted ceilings, incredibly high spires, and ornate features on every square inch of the building.

People are welcome to visit the Monastery during regular business hours to explore the huge building for themselves. Guided tours are available upon request. There are many rooms that offer many works of art created right into the walls, floors, and ceilings. In the main hall, an amazingly ornate altar stands for people to come and pray. The Jeronimos Monastery is located in the Belem district within Lisbon.
