RE: Jeronimos Monestary in Belém Portugal

in Worldmappin2 years ago

A monastery was built in the 16th century and still standing in Portugal? Wow. It's beautiful with all the intricate architectural designs. So the building doubles as the King's palace and monastery? These pictures are cool. 😃

Yeah it's very well preserved.

I believe so. It was a bit unclear to me. I think it started out as the Kings Palace and then later turned into a Monastery. Thats my understanding of it but I could be wrong about that.
