-- It lies in the western Iberian Peninsula on the Atlantic Ocean and the Tagus River.

Postcard: Mosteiro dos Jerónimos / The Hieronymites Monastery -
The monastery is one of the most prominent monuments of the Manueline-style architecture (Portuguese late-Gothic) in Lisbon, classified in 1983 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém.
