The construction of the Jeronimus Monastery started in the very early 16th century but this wooden work has been added on the upper choir in 1551.The construction of the Jeronimus Monastery started in the very early 16th century but this wooden work has been added on the upper choir in 1551.

With every Jeronimus post you make me want to visit the monastery more.
What lovely old dark wood! The paintings are beautiful too.
I can feel the quietness of the place just by looking at the pictures. The radiant light from the round window adds a heavenly glow to the room. It must be entrancing to be in that peaceful place.
Tenho mesmo que passar por lá...é incrível o sitio!
A place to be for singers near and far. And the occasional photographer.
Peaceful and beautiful.
A dark room at first and an explosion of light then. Great contrast, I like any post about the Jerónimos.
Very nicely captured!
Great photos - you can see/ feel the oldness of the place!! I was there when much, much younger and don't recall much. And of course now I have the excuse to take loads of photos!!!! Tenho de voltar la para a proxima vez em Portugal!!! Gena
Good grief..evokes a distant feel from my past though this is very old and well..shall we say almost overwhelming (lol), I'm thinking through childs eyes.
Terrific share-
They are beautiful JM, and the place looks so calm!
By the way, I don't know why it's impossible to enlarge some of my photos - I'm helpless with computer!!!!
Wow!!
Amazing UNIQUE piece of ART :-)
Have a very happy New Year
and a wonderful and happy 2010 :-)

Such detail. And the light is lovely. Great photos JM :)
They seem quite dark and sombre to me ... but the light gives them a nice lift.
Nice photos... enjoy your site.
NOne of our choir stalls ever looked like this - they're rather magnificant.
Cheers.

Well, they are nowt but johnnies-come-lately!!
A most magnificent choir loft!
There are full of devout faith.
The sun beam emphasizes it more.
Your viewpoint is splendid.
A Peace ＆ Healthy 2010
for you !
Quite beautiful. MB
Wow - heavenly look inside the monastery! I wonder how a choir would sound in there! By the way, the house on my blog on Monday is kinda small and needs a lot of work I think - thus the lower price.
Happy New Year, Jose'!
