We saw many cloisters on our visit to Portugal, Jeronimos had one of the most impressive. The detail through the mosteiro was beyond words - my wife and I just stared in wonder. One of the many reasons to visit Belem.

I love this shot..it was a fairly long exposure and I tried a few shots and angles of this particular view. In the end I loved the one with Laura walking down the aile. The shadow really adds a great fantasy element to this and once again, one must take advatage of space when these locations have few people frequenting them! Reminds me of an incredibly movie I saw a few weeks back called "Pan's Labyrinth".

The Jerónimos Monastery replaced the church formerly existing in the same place, which was dedicated to Santa Maria de Belém and where the monks of the military-religious Order of Christ provided assistance to seafarers in transit. The harbour of Praia do Restelo was an advantageous spot for mariners, with a safe anchorage and protection from the winds, sought after by ships entering the mouth of the Tagus. The existing structure was inaugurated on the orders of Manuel I (1469–1521) at the courts of Montemor o Velho in 1495, as a final resting-place for members of the House of Aviz, in his belief that an Iberian dynastic kingdom would rule after his death. In 1496, King Manuel petitioned the Holy See for permission to construct a monastery at the site. The Hermitage of Restelo (Ermida do Restelo), as the church was known, was already in disrepair when Vasco da Gama and his men spent the night in prayer there before departing on their expedition to the Orient in 1497.

Córdoba's archaeological museum, 2 blocks northeast of the Mezquita, is one of the most important in Spain. Housed in a palace dating from 1505, it displays artifacts left behind by the various peoples and conquerors that swept through the province. There are Paleolithic and Neolithic items, Iberian hand weapons and ceramics, and Roman sculptures, bronzes, ceramics, inscriptions, and mosaics. interesting are the Visigothic artifacts. The most outstanding collection, however, is devoted to Arabic art and spans the entire Muslim occupation. Take a few minutes to relax in one of the patios with its fountains and ponds. Right next door to the museum you can view the ruins of a Roman theater, which was discovered only in 2000 (From TripAdvisor)
Museo arqueológico de Córdoba, a 2 cuadras (200 metros) al noreste de la Mezquita, es uno de los más importantes de España. Ubicado en un palacio que data de 1505, muestra artefactos dejados por los diversos pueblos y conquistadores que arrasaron la provincia. Hay artículos paleolíticos y neolíticos, armas de mano ibéricas y cerámicas, y esculturas romanas, bronces, cerámicas, inscripciones y mosaicos. Especialmente interesantes son los artefactos visigodos. La colección más destacada, sin embargo, está dedicada al arte árabe y abarca toda la ocupación musulmana. Tómese unos minutos para relajarse en uno de los patios con sus fuentes y estanques. Justo al lado del museo se pueden ver las ruinas de un teatro romano, que fue descubierto en el año 2000 (Extraído de Trip Advisor)
