Lisbon–part 2

 

We walked to the Black Horse Square.

Then we took a tram to the Jeronimos Monastery.  It is no longer a monastery, not since the government took over the building hundreds of years ago.

You cannot get the feel for how huge this chapel is.  It is plain, yet ornate.  Go figure that out.

This is the cloister of the monastery.

Besides all the tiles used on old buildings, they also use a lot of iron.
