Se vi trovate a Lisbona e più precisamente nel quartiere di Belém, dovete per forza andare a visitare il Mosteiro do Jerónimos.
C’è una leggenda dietro questo monastero, si pensa che venne eretto sui resti di una piccola chiesetta in cui si rifugiò Vasco da Gama per pregare prima di partire alla volta delle Indie, infatti nella Igreja Santa Maria de Belém, chiesa situata all’interno del monastero, risiede la tomba del grande navigatore.
Questa imponente costruzione è un classico esempio di stile manuelino, i lavori cominciarono all’inizio del 1500 e per completarlo ci vollero circa cento anni.
Da fiaba è un termine appropriato per descriverlo, una volta abitato da monaci poi diventò una scuola ed un orfanotrofio ed ora, diventato Patrimonio dell’Umanità dell’Unesco, è possibile visitarlo.
