EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the majesty and grandeur of the Vasco da Gama Cathedral, also known as the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos or Monastery of the Jeronimos, located in the historic district of Belem in Lisbon, Portugal. Built between 1501 and 1601, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was initially a monastery dedicated to the Order of Jeronimos, and later transformed into a church in honor of Infante Dom Henrique, Prince Henry the Navigator, who sponsored the first Portuguese voyages to Africa and India. The intricate Manueline architectural style, characterized by its elaborate ornamentation, is on full display in the cathedral's facade, with its gargoyles, carved figures, and maritime motifs. The nearby Parque do Imperio, or Imperial Park, provides a serene backdrop to the cathedral, with its lush greenery and the Tagus River in the distance. The tranquil scene is further enhanced by the presence of traditional Portuguese canoes, or kanus, adding a touch of local culture to the image. This photograph, taken in 2010, offers a glimpse into the rich history and beauty of Portugal's imperial past.
