Embark on a guided tour of Jerónimos Monastery, a testament to the nation's maritime prowess and cultural wealth. Your adventure commences as you step into the grand courtyard, where every arch, column, and vault is adorned with intricate Manueline architecture. Constructed in the early 16th century by King Manuel I to honour Vasco da Gama's groundbreaking voyage to India, the monastery stands as a symbol of Portugal's key role in global exploration.

With your ticket in hand, follow expert guides who shed light on the monastery's importance. Contemplate the mix between the Portuguese gothic from the XVI century and the beauty of the XVIII century tiles. Meander through the church, where sunlight filters through impressive stained-glass windows, casting a kaleidoscope of colours over the nave. Here, you'll find the final resting place of Vasco da Gama himself, a solemn reminder of the spirit that drove Portuguese navigators across unknown waters.

Discover the cloisters, graced with arcades and gardens, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the monastery's lively surroundings. Learn about the daily life of the monks who once resided in these halls, and understand how their commitment to prayer and learning shaped the monastery's legacy. By the end of the tour, you will have gained a deeper understanding of the monastery's role in shaping Portugal's identity and its lasting impact on world history.
