El Monasterio de San Jerónimo
fue el primer monasterio que se construyó en Granada tras la conquista de la ciudad por los cristianos, y su fundación data incluso de antes de la toma de la ciudad por los Reyes Católicos. En su iglesia fue enterrado junto a su esposa el Gran Capitán.
Comenzó la edificación del Monasterio de San Jerónimo en 1504, en el lugar llamando la Almorava, que hoy ocupa el hospital de San Juan de Dios.
Para ella cedieron los Reyes, en 1500, toda la piedra árabe de la puerta de Elvira. Las obras, dirigidas en su mayoría por Diego de Siloé, terminaron en 1547.
The Monastery of San Jerónimo
It was the first monastery to be built in Granada after the conquest of the city by the Christians, and its foundation dates back even before the capture of the city by the Catholic Monarchs. In his church the Great Captain was buried with his wife.
The construction of the Monastery of San Jerónimo began in 1504, in the place called the Almorava, which today occupies the hospital of San Juan de Dios.
For it, the Kings gave, in 1500, all the Arab stone of the door of Elvira. The works, directed mostly by Diego de Siloé, ended in 1547.

Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Bélem. Lisboa, Portugal.
Das Hieronymuskloster wurde von Manuel I. in Auftrag gegeben, kurz nachdem Vasco da Gama von seiner ersten Indienreise zurückgekehrt war. Der Bau wurde zu großen Teilen durch die nun sprudelnden Einnahmen des Überseehandels finanziert. Im Jahre 1501 wurden die Arbeiten aufgenommen, die von zahlreichen Architekten und Baumeistern begleitet wurden, unter ihnen Diogo Boitaca (Planung und Ausführung) und João de Castilho (Logistik). Der Bau wurde im Jahre 1601 fertiggestellt. Während der Herrschaft König Johanns III. wurde das Kloster um den Chor erweitert.
Das Kloster beherbergte bis 1834 die Hieronymiten, den Orden des Heiligen Hieronymus, der dem Kloster auch den Namen gab. Das Gebäude überstand das Erdbeben von 1755 ohne größere Schäden, wurde aber durch die Truppen Napoleon Bonapartes Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts verwüstet.
Unter anderem beherbergt es die Sarkophage von Fernando Pessoa, Vasco da Gama und Luís de Camões und verschiedener portugiesischer Könige.

The Jerónimos Monastery, seen from Praça do Império (Empire Square), with a modern eléctrico (tram) passing in front of it.
The monastery is one of the oustanding buildings in the Manueline style. In the same building we can also find the Museu de Marinha (Navy Museum).
Nautical elements like the anchor in the foreplan can be seen everywhere in Portugal, a nation that literaly looks upon the sea.

The construction of the monastery and church began on 6 January 1501, and was completed 100 years later. King Manuel originally funded the project with moneys obtained from the Vintena da Pimenta, a 5 percent tax on commerce from Africa and the Orient, equivalent to 70 kilograms (150 lb) of gold per year, with the exception of those taxes collected on the importation of pepper, cinnamon and cloves, which went directly to the Crown.

Lisbon (Portuguese: Lisboa) is the capital and the largest city of Portugal, with an estimated population of 505,526 within its administrative limits in an area of 100.05 km2. Its urban area extends beyond the city's administrative limits with a population of around 2.8 million people, being the 11th-most populous urban area in the European Union. About 3 million people live in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (which represents approximately 27% of the country's population). It is mainland Europe's westernmost capital city and the only one along the Atlantic coast. Lisbon lies in the western Iberian Peninsula on the Atlantic Ocean and the River Tagus. The westernmost areas of its metro area form the westernmost point of Continental Europe, which is known as Cabo da Roca, located in the Sintra Mountains.
Lisbon is recognized as an alpha-level global city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) Study Group because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism. Lisbon is the only Portuguese city besides Porto to be recognized as a global city. It is one of the major economic centres on the continent, with a growing financial sector and one of the largest container ports on Europe's Atlantic coast. Additionally, Humberto Delgado Airport served 26.7 million passengers in 2017, being the busiest airport in Portugal, the 3rd busiest in the Iberian Peninsula and the 20th busiest in Europe, and the motorway network and the high-speed rail system of Alfa Pendular links the main cities of Portugal (such as Braga, Porto and Coimbra) to Lisbon. The city is the 9th-most-visited city in Southern Europe, after Rome, Istanbul, Barcelona, Milan, Venice, Madrid, Florence and Athens, with 3,320,300 tourists in 2017. The Lisbon region contributes with a higher GDP PPP per capita than any other region in Portugal. Its GDP amounts to 96.3 billion USD and thus $32,434 per capita. The city occupies the 40th place of highest gross earnings in the world. Most of the headquarters of multinational corporations in Portugal are located in the Lisbon area. It is also the political centre of the country, as its seat of Government and residence of the Head of State.
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, and one of the oldest in Western Europe, predating other modern European capitals such as London, Paris, and Rome by centuries. Julius Caesar made it a municipium called Felicitas Julia, adding to the name Olissipo. Ruled by a series of Germanic tribes from the 5th century, it was captured by the Moors in the 8th century. In 1147, the Crusaders under Afonso Henriques reconquered the city and since then it has been a major political, economic and cultural centre of Portugal. Unlike most capital cities, Lisbon's status as the capital of Portugal has never been granted or confirmed officially – by statute or in written form. Its position as the capital has formed through constitutional convention, making its position as de facto capital a part of the Constitution of Portugal.
