I visited Jerónimos Monastery in Lisboa it is a beautiful monastery. It is so impressive that it was classified an Unesco World Heritage Site in 1983.

The Jerónimos Monastery or Hieronymites Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Portuguese pronunciation: [muʃˈtɐjɾu duʃ ʒɨˈɾɔnimuʃ]), is a monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome near the Tagus river in the parish of Belém, in the Lisbon Municipality, Portugal. The monastery is one of the most prominent examples of the Portuguese Late Gothic Manueline style of architecture in Lisbon. It was classified a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém, in 1983. SOURCE

On my travel I am staying in skyscrapers all the time but I salute every time when I enter a church or see buildings which were designed and build a couple of hundred years ago. These days everything is done by computers, but it is amazing how our ancestors were able to build these incredible buildings and churches.

Jerónimos Monastery is a must visit for everybody going to Lisboa!

Architecture looks phenomenal! Great stuff and thanks for posting:)

it is indeed super impressive !

Not only the church was built over 500 years ago, but it took 100 years to finish it.
Our ancestors really had a long-term vision when starting projects.
Hopefully Steemit will not require so much year to be as renowned ;)

haha, indeed, but I am sure we will know in 2years if steemit is the sucess we believe it will be

Great post. Love the architecture!

Cool work! I like it!

It is indeed remarkable.

You just don't find workmanship like that anymore! So the Guy's that started on it, would not have been alive for completion ? Thank you for posting

yeah. it's insane... 100years to complete such a long time !
