El Monasterio de San Jerónimo de Granada, es un una obra arquitectónica del Renacimiento formada por iglesia y monasterio situada en Granada, España. Su fundación, anterior a la toma de la ciudad, se debe a los Reyes Católicos. En seguida se desplazó de Santa Fe a Granada, y fue en 1504 cuando se empezó a construir el conjunto actual. La obra se debe en su mayoría a Diego de Siloé, aunque participaron en su construcción otros arquitectos y artistas, como Jacobo Florentino, Juan de Aragón, Vázquez el Mozo, Pedro de Orea y Pablo de Rojas, los tres últimos de la Escuela Granadina. La iglesia, de planta de cruz latina, responde a los condicionantes de las iglesias de la orden jerónima, con coro elevado en los pies y altar tras una amplia escalinata. Es destacable el retablo manierista de la Capilla Mayor, que supone el punto de partida de la escultura andaluza con entidad propia, y en donde es capital la intervención del Maestro Pablo de Rojas. La rica decoración renacentista del interior, con casetones, veneras y grupos escultóricos, es un canto de cisne del humanismo en España. El programa iconográfico fue estudiado con el fin de resaltar las grandezas militares y la heroicidad del Gran Capitán, que se halla enterrado en el crucero junto a su esposa, Doña Maria de Manrique .El monasterio cuenta con dos claustros ajardinados, siendo el primero de ellos, el que concentra la más genuina decoración del Renacimiento. Siete arcosolios a modo de capillas, de trazas clásicas, decoradas con todo el repertorio formal de este estilo, configuran un espacio fúnebre para cuando los restos del grandioso don Gonzalo llegaron al Monasterio. En el segundo claustro, hoy clausura de la comunidad de monjas jerónimas que lo habitan, residió la emperatriz Isabel de Portugal en su viaje de bodas, tras la celebración de su matrimonio con el emperador Carlos I.
We encounter him sitting on a rock near El Mallado village to the Teno area at the beginning of the hiking trail we wanted to go.
He adviced us that in the area the sunset comes very early and to be careful to not got stuck in the trail during night.
We were glad to accept his advice, then we made the trail on another day and we are very happy he advice us since the trail is quite difficoult, doing that trail in the dark could be dangeuros.
Luckily for us we could see one of the most stunning sunset ever.
I've asked if I could take a photo of him and he was very happy about that.
Many thanks to everyone who will pass by visiting my shots. Comments are appreciated. You are welcome. Sergio

Il monastero dos Jerónimos ("dei Gerolamini") si trova nel quartiere di Belém nella città di Lisbona, la capitale del Portogallo.
Realizzato in stile manuelino su progetto dell'architetto Diogo de Boitaca, fu fatto costruire dal Re Manuele I per celebrare il ritorno del navigatore portoghese Vasco da Gama, dopo aver scoperto la rotta per l'India.
Il monastero, insieme alla vicina Torre di Belém e il Monumento alle scoperte, è una celebrazione del periodo storico più importante della nazione portoghese e costituisce una delle principali attrazioni turistiche di Lisbona.
Qui il 13 dicembre 2007 è stato firmato il Trattato di Lisbona, che riforma i Trattati su cui si fonda l'Unione europea.
Diseñado por el arquitecto Diogo de Boitaca, la construcción del Monasterio de los Jerónimos se inició el 6 de enero de 1501 y se concluyó a finales del siglo XVI. El estilo predominante del monasterio es el manuelino y se construyó para celebrar el regreso de la India de Vasco de Gama.

The view the visitors get of the long and large monastery buildings. to the right is that church and cloisters. To the left the monastery buildings are now a museum displaying finds from pre-history and Roman times.
When I visited the queue to enter the site took just over an hour to move to the ticket booths.

Visiting this monastery was one of the top things on my list when Big Human and I visted Lisboa.
We were there quite early and saw part of the church together with LOTS of Asian people. Really, there were busloads of them rolling in. Then we paid the admission fee and checked out the beautiful galleries inside. That was not as crowded.
There used to be an ancient library and as I am fond of libraries and books I set out to find it. Then a Portugese woman in the souvenir shop told me it was gone and it had been gone for a long time. I joked that must have been because it was an ancient library but she could not laugh about it.
Enjoy this photo of the exterior of the building, and the cipress trees. I love those! We have three on the corner of our block. They are not native to The Netherlands but they suit the neighborhood well.
The Jeronimos Monastery is the most impressive symbol of Portugal's power and wealth during the Age of Discovery. King Manuel I built it in 1502 on the site of a hermitage founded by Prince Henry the Navigator, where Vasco da Gama and his crew spent their last night in Portugal in prayer before leaving for India. It was built to commemorate Vasco Da Gama's voyage and to give thanks to the Virgin Mary for its success.
Vasco da Gama's tomb was placed inside by the entrance, as was the tomb of poet Luis de Camões, author of the epic The Lusiads in which he glorifies the triumphs of Da Gama and his compatriots. Other great figures in Portuguese history are also entombed here, like King Manuel and King Sebastião, and poets Fernando Pessoa and Alexandre Herculano.
The monastery was populated by monks of the Order of Saint Jerome (Hieronymites), whose spiritual job was to give guidance to sailors and pray for the king's soul. It's one of the great triumphs of European Gothic (UNESCO has classified it a World Heritage monument), with much of the design characterized by elaborate sculptural details and maritime motifs. This style of architecture became known as "Manueline," a style that served to glorify the great "discoveries" of the age.
The Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, in Belém, Lisbon, Portugal. The monastery was built by King Manuel I, as a gift for the successful trip to India by Vasco da Gama. The monastery is built in the Manueline style and is made of limestone. The southern entrance and double chapel entrance are the most beautiful parts.
In the monastery are members of the Portuguese royal family, Vasco da Gama and the poet Luís de Camões buried. Also, in a connecting hallway, is Fernando Pessoa re-buried, 50 years after his death.
