About the Jeronimos Monastery
The Jerónimos Monastery, also called the Hieronymites Monastery, is a former monastery that belonged to the Order of Saint Jerome. It lies near the Tagus river, in Belém, a parish of the Lisbon Municipality in Portugal. It went up in the early 1500s close to where Vasco da Gama's first journey began. Work started on January 6, 1501. King Manuel paid for it at first with a levy called the Vintena da Pimenta, which took 5 percent of commerce from Africa and the Orient. Manuel I chose Hieronymite monks to pray for the king's soul and to assist navigators and sailors from the port of Restelo.
Among Lisbon's most prominent examples of late Portuguese Gothic, the Manueline style, the building is richly ornate, with maritime elements and objects found on naval expeditions carved into limestone. Diogo de Boitaca pioneered the style at the Monastery of Jesus in Setúbal, and he drew up the plans for the refectory, the sacristy and the monastery itself. Juan de Castillo took charge around 1517, and building stopped when Manuel I died in 1521. Diogo de Torralva took the work up again in 1550, adding the main chapel and choir and finishing the monastery's two stories.
On the night before they left for India in 1497, Vasco da Gama and his men prayed in the earlier church on the site, the Hermitage of Restelo. In 1880 the remains of da Gama and of the poet Luís de Camões were placed in newly carved tombs inside the church nave. The 1755 Lisbon earthquake did little damage to the monastery, and it was secularized by state decree on December 28, 1833. UNESCO classified it as a World Heritage Site in 1983, together with the nearby Tower of Belém.
