Main hall of the interior of the Hieronymites Monastery, also called Mosteiro da Santa Maria de Belém or Igreja Dos Jerónimos, in Lisbon, Portugal. Originally, the home for the Hieronymite religious order, was built by the Infante Henry the Navigator around 1459. The chapel that existed there, to the invocation of Santa Maria de Belém, was serviced by monks of the military-religious Order of Christ who provided assistance to pilgrims who transited the area.
