Lisbon - Ermida de Sao Jerónimo
|
|
By climbing up a grassed area on the Rua de Alcolena we reach the Ermida de Sao Jerónimo, which was built in 1514 according to the plans of the famous Manueline architect Diogo de Boytaca. The chapel, which looks almost like a monolith, stands out from the other remaining constructions of this epoch through its simple harmonious proportions and, above all, its restrained Manueline upper ornamentation.

The impressive little chapel is generally closed; however it is worthwhile climbing up to it because of the unusual view of the Torre de Belém and the Atlantic, which appears very close from here.
