This monastery is classified as a World Heritage Site and considered one of the most successful achievements of the Manueline style. |
The door to the Church of Santa Maria attached to the monastery. |
Here is the entrance to the monastery but of course it was closed today. |
Across the street from the monastery, |
There is the park with the big fountain. |
The view of the monastery from this side was also beautiful. |
The park is faced to the Tejo River, and the 25 de Abril Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril) was clearly seen from here. |
By the park is the Monument to the Discoveries (Padrão dos Descobrimentos). This is also closed on Mondays. |
I have seen this monument many times in the pictures, etc, but it is much bigger than I imagined. |
The view from the other side. |
Many boats were parked by the river. |
The Belém Tower showed up! This is also classified as a World Heritage Site. |
