You're standing on Praça do Império in Belém, facing the long front of the Jerónimos Monastery. Look at the western wing. That's where you'll find the National Museum of Archaeology, the largest archaeological museum in Portugal. This part of the building dates from the nineteenth century and is built in the Neo-Manueline style. It's where the monks used to have their dormitory.
