Jerónimos Monastery

Our first visit in Lisbon was to the Jerónimos Monastery.  We had a few missteps on our way there -- it took way longer than it should have!  What a beautiful spot for our first stop (and after a "no sleep" flight there).  

We did not end up going to the paid section since the queue was long.  


The architecture of the building is beautiful with such intricate details.  The scale of the building is long and substantial.  



The inside of the church was beautiful.  Our guide book recommended visiting in mid-afternoon, but unfortunately everything seemed to have that recommendation!  



The magnificent ceilings and stained glass were rather stunning.  It was busy inside but we were able to see everything we wanted.



What a stunning first stop.
