The Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon's Belém district is an architectural marvel from the heyday of Portugal, made entirely of sand-colored limestone. It was the last resting place of the explorer Vasco da Gama and a symbol of Portuguese maritime culture!
The famous Portuguese egg tart was also invented by the nuns of this monastery.
Not far away, the Belém Tower is a five-storey defensive structure to protect Lisbon from the sea, and the entire tower is made of marble. Like the Statue of Liberty towering over the port of New York, USA, the Belém Tower in the port of Lisbon is a symbol of Portugal!
Both the monastery and the Belém Tower are unesco world heritage sites!
