Wikipedia: The Hieronymites Monastery is located in the Belém district of Lisbon, Portugal. This magnificent monastery can be considered one of the most prominent monuments in Lisbon and is certainly one of the most successful achievements of the Manueline style. In 1983, it was classified by the UNESCO, with nearby Belém Tower, as a World Heritage Site.
