The most prominent monument in Lisbon is that the Belém area is already a little away from the center. I think public transportation is not very convenient, so I took a local express train in the morning and it took about half an hour to arrive. Not surprisingly, the doorway is long The team, I feel queuing everywhere in Portugal, and I am used to it. First go to the next door to buy tickets, and then line up to enter. Fortunately, not many people say in the morning that it will be closed in the afternoon, so you have to check the opening time before going. The interior of the monastery has a Gothic architectural style, with exquisite carvings on the door, and a holy altar inside, decorated with gold and green carvings. It is exquisite and not lacking in atmosphere. It is very suitable for "blockbuster" shooting and is worth visiting.

The Jeronimos Monastery in Lisbon was built in 1501. It was built by King Manuel I to commemorate the significant voyage of Da Gama, which took nearly 100 years. The majestic momentum of the entire building facade demonstrates Portugal's unmatched maritime supremacy in the past. It is shocking and shocking.

Jeronimos Monastery was founded in 1502 and is the best example of the peak of Portuguese art. It was in the Belém area. I was living near the central railway station, so I took the 15E bus at the door and arrived in about half an hour (stopped directly at the church door). This magnificent cathedral still stood tall after the unprecedented earthquake. It can be said to be a miracle at that time. The sarcophagus of the poet Cammons and the navigator Da Gama are also placed here for visitors to admire.
