The Jerónimos Monastery, located in the Belém district, is a jewel of Manueline architecture and one of Lisbon's most visited monuments. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.
Built by order of King Manuel I to commemorate Vasco da Gama's voyage to India, its construction began in 1501–1502 on the site where Vasco da Gama and his crew prayed before setting sail. For centuries it was occupied by the Order of Saint Jerome, hence its name.
