Jerónimos Monastery was formerly home to the Order of Saint Jerome. Construction began in 1501 and was completed nearly a hundred years later. The architectural style is Manueline, which is elaborate, ornate, draws on maritime influences and themes and also known as Portuguese late Gothic. Every corner features whimsy and layers of architectural detail. There are two floors accessible to the public and the space surrounds an inner courtyard.
