You're standing at the Jerónimos Monastery, the great monastery of Belém in Lisbon. Look at that long façade of pale limestone, quarried not far from here. The monastery is seen as the high point of the Manueline style, Portugal's own blend of late Gothic and Renaissance, packed with plant motifs, coats of arms, maritime symbols and fantastic beasts.
