Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) hosted a guided visit in Lisbon on 15 October 2026, giving the cultural activity a fixed place within the UNESCO-listed Belém complex. The visit was scheduled from 3pm to 5.30pm at Praça do Império, in Portugal's capital.
Jerónimos Monastery held its guided visit on 15 October
The event listing from Lisboa, Cidade COM VIDA Para Todas as Idades described the programme as a cultural activity at the monastery. It gave 15 October 2026 as the date, specified the three-hour afternoon period and identified Praça do Império, 1400-206 Lisboa, as the venue. The listing also instructed participants to reserve a place.
The date places the programme in the current autumn travel period rather than in the regular background calendar of the monument. The organiser's listing named the building itself, not merely the Belém district, so the visit was tied directly to the monastery and its historic spaces. The 15 October visit listing also records the address and activity type.
1502 construction shaped the monastery visited in Lisbon
Construction began in 1502, according to UNESCO, at the entrance to Lisbon harbour beside the Tagus River. The royal foundation was commissioned by King D. Manuel I and given to the monks of Saint Hieronymus. Its decoration is associated with Manueline art and Portugal's maritime history.
The guided visit therefore took place in a building whose surviving spaces still include the sixteenth-century cloister, the former refectory and the library. Those named parts connect the fixed programme on 15 October 2026 with the physical structure described by UNESCO, rather than treating the event as a general Lisbon activity. The monastery and the nearby Tower of Belém together make up the UNESCO World Heritage property.
