Par un pèlerin
A l'ouest de Lisbonne, dans le quartier de Belém, cet ensemble, composé de l'église Santa Maria et du célèbre monastère des Hiéronymites, est un chef d'oeuvre de l'architecture manuéline.
Sur l'emplacement d'un ermitage fondé par Henri le Navigateur, le roi Manuel Ier entreprit en 1502, un peu après le retour de Vasco de Gama de son premier voyage en Inde, de bâtir un magnifique monastère destiné aux religieux de l'ordre des hiéronymites, ordre des ermites de Saint-Jérôme.
