Jerónimos Monastery
Lisbon, Portugal
We were only in Lisbon for a few hours before we left for Fatima. But while we were there we were able to see some very memorable sites. The monument to Henry the Navigator was incredible. We were able to tour the Church of Santa Maria that is part of Jeronimos Monastery. The view of the city was inspiring. I do love history and Portugal's is most interesting.

Wow!! You're taking us on an incredible journey!
ReplyDeleteDarn. . .I should have made it clear this was a memory post. This all took place last March. I've been just going through photos of past journeys preparing for the one to the Holy Land. They have been so much fun and I have learned so very much! Thank you!!!
DeleteHello, lovely images from Lisbon. The monument statue and monastery are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing your trip! Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!

Hi Cathy, loved seeing your photographs of Lisbon today, they brought back happy memories of our visit to Portugal several years ago.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mosaic Monday!

Amazing history to view - great photos. What an opportunity to explore and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great how much you can see in a short time when you set your mind to it?! The Navigator Monument is most impressive.
ReplyDeleteShame on me, but I don't know much of Portugal's history. Something for my "list" to keep my little grey cells working. I've been to Spain, but not Portugal. Lovely pics of Lisbon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathy. It is so kind of you to share your adventures and travels with us.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dear Cathy, oh how lovely! That monastery is breath-taking!
ReplyDeleteMy older sister took a pilgrimage to Fatima many years ago. To this day I think it was the most profound experience she's had spiritually.
God bless you and keep you - safe travels to you and yours, always.
This sounds like it was a wonderful trip, Cathy. Spain and Portugal is on my bucket list as places I'd like to visit one day!
ReplyDeleteTerrific photos of Lisbon.
ReplyDeleteI love your quotation and the photos are fabulous. This is a place I've yet to visit so enjoyed seeing it through another's eyes.
ReplyDeleteAny time in Lisbon is welcome. I have Fatima in my bucket list, we just did not have enough time, although we thought we did.
ReplyDeleteOh,Lisbon!
ReplyDeleteI have not been there and have little history. The monument in the last photo is great!
Thank you for taking us on the trip with you!
I love Lisbon! Fabulous shots.
ReplyDeleteI have never been there but would love to visit one day.
ReplyDeletePortugal looks like an interesting place to visit one day. Glad you had a short visit to Lisbon.
ReplyDeletePortugal is on my bucket list, reinforced by your pictures!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you were able to see several interesting things in your short stay! Wonderful shots!
