No expense was spared when they built this masterpiece of Manueline and Gothic architecture in 1502, which was inspired by Vasco da Gama who is buried here with other great navigators of the past.

This 500 year old monastery is absolutely beautiful on the inside out. If you're a history buff, I recommend buying the combo 12 euro ticket which gives you access to the archaeological museum adjoining the monastery as well. Every step is worth a photo and the architecture is really stunning inside. There is also a special exhibit right now on the upper level explaining the historical timeline of the place compared alongside important milestones in Portugal's history. Very informative and educational. This is a worthwhile visit because the surrounding Belem areas are all tourist attractions and is accessible by direct bus or tram from the city center.

If you want to see excellent examples of Portuguese tiles, in addition to the Tile Museum. This is the place to come. The monastery houses a museum containing the largest collection of Baroque Portuguese tiles. Don't miss the nearby church of Sant Vincent. The church’s façade is in the austere Mannerist style of the late Renaissance. It also has two towers while the interior has a barrel ceiling and huge dome. Be sue to climb to the rooftop for spectacular views. Saint Vincent is the patron saint of Lisbon, but his popularity pales in comparison to that of St. Anthony.

Taken together, the Church and Museum of Saint Roque are among Lisbon’s most important artistic, cultural, and historic repositories. In addition to the main altar, the church is noteworthy for its side chapels, particularly that of St. John the Baptist with its central mosaic panel that looks like a painting on canvas, the gilt wood Chapel of Our Lady of Doctrine, and the tile work of the Chapel of São Roque. The painted ceiling is the only one extent from the Mannerist period. The adjoining museum houses one of the most important collections of sacred art, which includes paintings, sculpture, metalwork, reliquaries, altar frontals, and the treasure of the Chapel of Saint John the Baptist.

This old church was really wonderful. The alter was amazing and it is pretty well maintained. It doesn't take long to look at. And I really ejoy the old churches of Europe.
