Circa 1900, this image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time over a century ago. The monastery, a masterpiece of Manueline architecture, is renowned for its ornate decorative elements, and this photograph showcases the magnificence of its marble arched ceiling and lightly carved columns. The ceiling, adorned with intricate designs, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the time. The marble arches, supported by the columns, create a sense of grandeur and elegance. The lantern at the center of the ceiling adds an element of light and airiness to the space, making it all the more captivating. The columns, with their delicate carvings, add texture and depth to the image, further emphasizing the intricacy and detail of the monastery's interior. The Interior Monastery of Belem is a significant historical site, with both Portuguese and Spanish connections.
