Free access next to the monestary to the site's church. This church's exterior and interior architecture, with it's extremely high ceilings and massive decorative marble pillar design was the most impressive I have ever seen. The structure just blows the mind considering it was being built about the time Columbus landed in America. The site is also connected to other museums and parks in addition to the restaurants and the waterway.

Jeronimos Monastery is obviously very beautiful place. Very beautiful, BUT. But, there is huge line at the entrance and if you don't have e-tickets, at the end of 30 minute wait, you will find that ticket line is in the other part of the building. So, when visiting Jeronimos Monastery, first search for ticket line and only after that stand in big line for entrance. Moreover, entrance price is 10 Euro and value for money is very low. P.S. if like visiting graves of famous people, Vasco da Gama is burried inside chapel that is actually free to enter with separate entrance and free of charge

This place looks much nicer than the museum next to it which attracted me to it after I completed it. The entrance is sort of hidden away at the end of the museum and you have to make a left turn to see it. I came pretty late so I only had time to see the insides before the garden was closed. There is one person standing at the door but he didnt do anything when I entered the church. The church has a wow factor to it as soon as you step in. From top to bottom. From bottom to top. I was worried I was going to pull my neck muscle from my quick swivels. There are nice paintings are around, nice chiseled pillars and ceiling support. There is of course seating areas on either side of the altar. There is more than enough for a big crowd. I highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area. It's full of nice finishes and architecture work all over the place and a good place to pray and rest!

Church next to the Jeronimos Monastery. This old church is humble and unassuming. You can enter this church directly after the visit to the Jeronimos Monastery (without going back out and stand in the line again).

Beautiful church right next to the monastery. To get in, you'd need to queue once more. Don't be discouraged by the line, the scenery is totally worth it. Beware if you show up on Sundays, more crowded as the entrance is free for Portuguese. Carved artichokes on almost every pillar, first fresh veg imported providing vitamin C.

Ornate church attached to the Jeronimos monastery. The Monastery ticket allows you entrance. Inside of the church de detail of the sculpture is impressive, and the stained glass windows are of excellent quality, however the overall impression is dampened by the ever present darkness that shrouds the church.

Beautiful church that is free to enter. There are a few signs (though not many) that provide info about when it was built and the tombs there (royals, Vasca da gama, etc.), but still beautiful to wander through in 10-20 minutes.

Very pretty outside and inside. Inside it is housed the petrified tomb of Luis de Camões, the national poet, and Vasco da Gama, and also the mortal remains of D. Sebastián, whose death in battle during the crusade contributed to the signing of the Iberian Union that united to Portugal and Spain. A sumptuous vault, without visible supports, evokes the ingenuity of its builders, who began their work here even before discovering Brazil.

Free. Right snake. Beautiful.

Breathtaking, epic sizes, monumental. History permeates within the walls. If you look at the exterior will find Templar cross in many places. Worth to pay and visit,

Igreja de Santa Maria de Belém, from the Jerónimos Monastery of Belém (1514), in Belém (Lisbon, Portugal). According to the Manueline Renaissance design of the Cantabrian architect Juan de Castillo (1470-1552), commissioned by King Manuel I of Portugal (1495-1521) as a commemoration of the discovery of the maritime route to India (1498) by Vasco da Gama Sodré (1467). -1524). It was financed with 5% of the taxes levied on oriental spices. Little remains of the first late Gothic period (1514-16) directed by the Portuguese architect of French origin Diogo de Boitaca. From the second (1516) by the Cantabrian architect Juan de Castillo are the church, the cloister, the sacristy, the chapter house and the refectory. The third (1544) by the Portuguese architect Diogo de Torralva (1500-66). The monastery was entrusted to the order of Saint Jerome (1373), who maintained it until 1833 when the religious orders were expelled by the ultraliberal government.

It’s beautiful. Even if you’re not catholic, or you’re an atheist, like me, the architecture alone makes it worth the visit. We weren’t expecting to see the tomb of Vasco de gama inside so that was a cool moment.

A beautiful church with a monumental view next to the Monastery of St. Jerome.

The Santa Maria Church attached to the Jeronimo Monastery is so gorgeous, both inside and outside. Terrific flamboyant Manueline architecture adorns it, while the interiors are stunning with beautiful altar, fab stained glass and Vasco de Gama ornate tomb. Entrance to the Church is free, but I suggest also paying the fee to visit the Jeronimo Monastery.

Beautiful church right next to the monastery. To get in, you'd need to queue once more. Don't be discouraged by the line, the scenery is totally worth it. Beware if you show up on Sundays, more crowded as the entrance is free for Portuguese. Carved artichokes on almost every pillar, first fresh veg imported providing vitamin C.

The church is absolutely gorgeous and a must visit if you decide to visit Belem in Lisbon. Entrance is free but the waiting line can be long. At any given time a limited number of visitors is allowed inside, so your experience in the place will be nice. Tombs of Vasco da Gama, Luis do Camoes and king Manuel I and his family can be found inside.

Church with beautiful architecture and decoration, with the tomb of many famous personalities in Portuguese history, such as Vasco da Gama and Luís de Camões. Access is free, but the visit is very popular. Still, it's worth the visit. Want to know more places and tips for your trip? Visit our YouTube Channel: @trips.flicks

It was free to get in. Nice church. Wait line was long but was moving quick enough.

Beautiful church.

Free entry, you just have to wait in line to get in, so I recommend going in the afternoon since it gets crowded in the morning. The church is very beautiful and very well maintained. Furthermore, Vasco de Gama is buried here.

Fine, definitely enter.

This is the church of the Jeronimos monastery. Shorter line compared to the monastery. The main entrance is next to the monastery. Free access. Within the church, are the stone tombs of Vasco da Gama , and of the great Portuguese poet and chronicler of the Age of Discoveries, Luis Camoes.

Interesting church with amazing architecture. It's a bit of a line to get in, but it's worth it, and it's free. It'd be a better experience if you could have a tour guide to tell you about the history behind it. Recommended

Beautiful architecture, the church's exterior and interior. Original high ceilings and huge marble pillar design was the most impressive I have ever seen. The church is free to enter but the rest you need a ticket.

Def visit. Sometimes there is a line but it’s worth the wait. We only had to wait a couple of minutes. One of the most amazing churches I’ve had the privilege of visiting.

There's no information about opening hours. It's open only from 2 PM to 5 PM on SUNDAY.

The Igreja Santa Maria de Belém, also known as the Church of Saint Mary of Belém, is a stunning historic church that's well worth a visit. After a fairly short time queuing (the queues are long but move fast), you can enter the church for free and enjoy its beautiful vaulted ceiling, intricate stone carvings, and stunning stained-glass windows. Don't miss its ornate entrance portal, adorned with elaborate sculptural details depicting scenes from the Bible and Portuguese history. Free entry - no tickets are needed. Just make sure you're in the correct queue.

Architecturally stunning place with quite unreflected implicit glorification of historic debts. This church is undoubtedly very special and an amazing place to visit. However, and that detail is not unique to this place, it includes tombs of people who did things that were extremely hostile, violent, discriminating etc. In 2023, I would expect some more differentiated exposition of context in addition to the one-sided celebration of past 'achievement'.

Free entrance, here you can find Vasco da Gama’s tomb

It's free. It's a nice church. Good stained glass. No hats. Vasco De Gama's tomb. Opens at 10:30. My wife and I arrived at 10:20 and we're about 5th place in the queue. Will command about 15 minutes of your time, max.

Tomb of Vasco da Gama in Santa Maria de Belém Worth to visit it, little crowded on holidays due to free entry for local residents. Tomb of Vasco da Gama By: Vítor Bastos e Costa Mota Date: 1894 Vasco da Gama (Sines, Portugal, c. 1469 - Cochim, India, 1524) Discovering the sea route to India in 1498 was the explorer's great accomplishment. Returning to Lisbon the following year, he was welcomed triumphantly by King Manuel I, who awarded him the title of Dom "Admiral of the seas of Arabla, Persia, India and all the Orient".

Igreja de Santa Maria de Belém is an extraordinary architectural achievement; regardless if you are religious or not, walking along the chapels and quiet corridors of this place can provide you some precious moments of meditation. If you are going to Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, is definitely worth a visit.

This church is attached to the Jeronimos Monastery. The entrance fee therefore is included in the fee for the monastery. It is very ornate and very dark. It also looks like its in a need of some restoration, but still well worth of stopping by while you're at Jeronimos.

Santa Maria de Belem (free entry) is the Church at Jerónimos Monastery that you can enter and visit separately to the rest of the monastery grounds. Built during much of the 16th century, this is a beautiful church, featuring fine representation of Late Gothic Manueline and early Renaissance architecture. Opening Hours are 10am-6pm (Tues - Sat), 2-6pm (Sun). The church is closed on Mondays. Do take a few minutes to enjoy the South Portal entrance before entering the Church of Santa Maria. This entranceway is highly decorative with a multitude of small pinnacles and numerous carved figures. Near the entrance to the monastery there is another smaller but equally delightful entrance into the church. The interior of the church features a tall nave with ribbed vaults, supported by thin octagonal shaped pillars. This is a Late Gothic Manueline gem, similar to the architecture you will see throughout the cloister within the monastery. The front chapel showcases a touch of renaissance. Frescos and royal tombs can be seen here, while the tomb of Navigator, Vasco de Gama is situated in the back of the nave. Impressive stained glass windows, frescos and decorative walls adorn the remaining sections of the nave. Note: If you visit the monastery grounds, there is second floor viewing area, overlooking the inside of the church. This is a great vantage point for viewing the interior of the Church of Santa Maria. Overall, a visit to Jerónimos Monastery and the Church of Santa Maria is highly recommendable during visits to Lisbon. This is one of the clear highlight of time spent in Belem. History and architecture fans in particular will want to make time for this attraction.

Such a majestic architecture! Literally spent hours looking at the church from outside and inside! The tomb of Vasco da gama made it particularly emotional for me being someone from the subcontinent growing up reading about stories about the famous voyage.
