The city's calling card, built in the second century BC. Over its long history, the building has been repeatedly destroyed and reconstructed. However, it still has a massive and impressive appearance, strict symmetry of architectural forms. It is not easy to visit such interesting places in Lisbon - the castle rises on the top of the mountain.

When listing the sights of Lisbon, many tour guides give this temple the first place. Since it is considered the most popular tourist attraction in the whole country and is included in the list of "Seven Wonders of Portugal". Every year it is visited by about 800-900 thousand guests. In the chapel, on the site of which the monastery was erected, Vasco da Gama prayed before his departure to India (now inside the building is a sarcophagus with his remains). Historians say that 1496 is the year of creation of Jeronimos. But construction work from that year continued for two hundred years. Jeronimos is both a monastery for parishioners and a memorial, inside which are the ashes of representatives of the royal families of the state. In addition to the temple itself, it is interesting to examine its courtyard with flowering flowerbeds, located in a clear geometric order. Your trip to the capital will be incomplete if you refuse to visit this attraction.

Due to an earthquake that shook the city in the mid-18th century, the royal family's castle was almost completely wiped off the face of the earth. Therefore, in 1796, the construction of a new palace for the Portuguese monarchs began on the Ajuda hills. The light façade of the three-story building was decorated with sculptures and pilasters, the architectural style of the building is neoclassicism. The preserved palace interiors deserve special attention. In the spacious rooms you can see ancient tapestries, canvases by the best artists of the world, ceiling frescoes, royal furniture and huge mirrors. Even the best hotels in Lisbon cannot boast such a magnificent setting.
