The Jerónimos Monastery (also known as the Hieronymites Monastery) is a former monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome near the Tagus River in Lisbon, Portugal. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the complex is renowned for its Manueline architecture as well as for being the final resting place of luminaries like explorer Vasco da Gama. The 16th-century masterpiece was the site of the ceremony for the signing of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2007, which initiated significant reforms within the European Union.
