We both thought this crucifixion sculpture was something. Note the eye up above.
The church is actually pretty plain, as these things go.
You knew you would see some stained glass pictures.
We went back to the cloister from the church.
I thought this was a nice exhibit. Alexandre Herculano was important to Portugal. This area was built as a monument to him.
I can't think of a nicer memorial.
Another frame from the ground level this time.
The monastery is a big place and I found it difficult to get a wide andle shot.
Cannon lying discarded in a corner.
Mural in the refectory of the monastery.
Work crews were getting the lawn ready for spring.
Tomb of Vasco de Gama.
The church was for the royal family after all.
The elephants represent Portuguese voyages to India.
The main altar.
Looking back to the upper choir, where we were earlier.
Lots of color in this stained glass.
Tomb of Vasco de Gama with Manueline decorations.
The sculpture on the top is the same as in the porcession we saw near Rossio square.
The main entrance--which isn't used as an entrance now.
