Mosteiro dos Jerónimos
The Hieronymites Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) is undoubtedly the most important monument of Lisbon. In 1496 King D.Manuel I ask the Holy See permission to built a huge Monastery at the gates of Lisbon next to the Tagus River. In 1501 the construction began and took about 100 years. The monument was built at the same site of the Ermida do Restelo, a hermitage where Vasco da Gama spent his last night praying with his men before departing to India.

Great series, Carlos. I love the interior shots & the cloisters shot.
How did you get the "aerial" view of the maonastery?
Ok, :) just read where it was taken from!
And what a great place for summit meetings with Putin, to say nothing of a European Union signing of the Tretado de Lisboa.
Now, where have you been? And where have I been? Answer for me: the last time I was away from this town was on 19th August....Sad, or what?
It's .... HUGE... and what a contrast to the high rises in the distance.
Hi Stew and Meg,
Jerónimos are fantastic. In my opinion Jerónimos and Mafra National Palace (where the summit with Putin took place) are the most important monuments we have and the only with real international dimension.
Carlos, Please!
Send an email to the Brazil embassj your country and repor the injustice that the brazilian courts are making with this girl

Thank you
Belated return, Carlos. Well, the 'Tretado' de Lisboa signing should go a long way to putting Jerónimos on the map.
And where exactly are you these days?
Parabéns pelo blog e pelas fotos. Tomei a liberdade de colocar no meu blog um link para aqui.
Hola Carlos! How are you? I hope you remember me..I know, it's been a while since my last time here. All the pictures are wonderful!! One of them reminds me a jigsaw puzzle I had some time ago, 3000 thousand pieces!
Well, take care and come to visit some day too :)
Hola Analia,
Por supuesto que me recuerdo. Gracias por tu visita. Como estás? Como puedes ver, no he tenido mucho tiempo últimamente, pero espero volver a publicar de nuevo en breve. Te voy a visitar seguido.
Carlos
Happy holidays to you & the family, Carlos.
Cheers for comment on Nelson, Carlos.
I wish you have very happy holiday season, too.
Merry Belated Christmas Carlos!
Where aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare you?!?!?
I'm here with a new camera...FINALLY! Got a little 8mp Canon Powershot with a 3-inch screen...no view finder...don't need it with 3 inches! LOL!
Anyway, still want to come to Lisbon someday...maybe I'll make it after my baby (11) graduates from college and gets a high-paying job and can send me! ;)))
OK, I promise to visit more in 2008...there's simply no excuse and my life is starting to smell really rosey now! Have a new someone in it and he's lots of fun and love and laughs and hugs and all that all in one!
Better late than never I always say!
Don't be a stranger yourself!
HUGS!
