点评:Jerónimos Monastery, which forms a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the nearby Tower of Belém, is one of the most spectacular sights in Lisbon. Standing near the entrance to Lisbon's harbour, the monastery, which was built in the early 16th century, exemplifies the best of Portuguese art and is widely renowned for its ornamental carvings, which include animals, vegetables and twining ropes. It contains the tombs of several of the most famous Portuguese figures of all time, including Vasco da Gama, the first European to reach India by sea, and Luís de Camões, Portugal's greatest poet. The monastery also contains the tombs of multiple members of Portugal's royal family and it was originally built on the orders of King Manuel I, who gave his name to the Manueline style which characterizes many Portuguese buildings from the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century.
The architecture of the monastery is incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring, which explains the decision to sign the Treaty of Lisbon, a pivotal development in the reform of the European Union, at this site. If you are visiting Lisbon, I strongly recommend you set aside at least an hour and a half to two hours to explore this magnificent building and that you also visit the Tower of Belém close by. You definitely won't regret it.

修道院的建筑美不胜收,令人叹为观止,这也解释了为何选择在此签署《里斯本条约》,这是欧盟改革的关键一步。如果您正在里斯本旅游,我强烈建议您至少留出一个半到两个小时来探索这座宏伟的建筑,并顺便参观附近的贝伦塔。您绝对不会后悔。
