Jerónimos Monastery

The Jerónimos Monastery or Hieronymites Monastery is a former monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome near the Tagus river in the parish of Belém, in the Lisbon Municipality, Portugal.
Lots of ancient famous Portuguese are buried on the grounds, including Vasco da Gama, Luís de Camões, King Manuel I, King John III and other members of the royal family.
The building dates from 1501 and took 100 years to complete. This is just the interior of the Church at one end of the building. I'm at the altar looking back toward the Church entrance.
