Intricate stone carvings adorn the Jeronimos Monastery facade in Lisbon. Gothic and Manueline architectural styles blend in detailed sculptures, featuring religious and maritime motifs. The arch is ornately decorated with floral patterns and figures in flowing robes. Statues positioned in niches add to the grandeur, with well-defined bas-reliefs capturing historical and religious narratives. This facade, crafted from limestone, exemplifies Portugal's Age of Exploration and the wealth of the Portuguese Empire during the 16th century.
