Monastery of Jesus of Setubal

Alcaçer do Sal | Setúbal | Portugal

Alcácer do Sal foi sucessivamente ocupada desde o séc. VI a.C. tendo sido um dos mais importantes centros urbanos e militares do território islâmico peninsular. Durante a ocupação romana chegou a cunhar moeda com a inscrição Imperatoria Salacia, datando dessa época, segundo alguns autores, a alteração do nome da localidade para Salácia.
O castelo medieval data do século XII, construído sobre anteriores fortificações, sendo que no século VIII, sob o domínio islâmico, Alcácer era um importante centro urbano e militar, com um poderoso e eficaz sistema defensivo. Os Muçulmanos aqui desenvolveram a construção naval.
Conquistado em 1158 por D. Afonso Henriques, com o auxílio dos Espatários, volta a passar para mãos almóadas em 1191 (do qual subsiste o torreão oitavado) para ser definitivamente conquistado por D. Afonso II que o doa à Ordem de Santiago.
No século XIII há uma campanha de reconstrução do castelo sendo que teria, na altura, uma estrutura bem maior e mais imponente do que hoje se apresenta.
Ao longo do século XV o castelo perdeu gradualmente as funções militares. Em 1573 foi aqui fundado, no interior do castelo o Convento de Nossa Senhora de Aracaeli no lugar do palácio da Ordem de Santiago. Este aqui permaneceu até à extinção das ordens religiosas.
Em 1998 o antigo espaço conventual foi transformado numa pousada, e dez anos depois aberta a Cripta Arqueológica do Castelo de Alcácer do Sal.

(1) Lenda de Santa Úrsula e das Onze Mil Virgens :
Onze mil virgens martirizadas em conjunto com Santa Úrsula por um exército pagão, em Colónia, numa lenda de fundamento católico.
egundo a Legenda Áurea, uma jovem de beleza excecional chamada Úrsula, filha de um soberano bretão, converteu-se secretamente ao cristianismo prometendo guardar a sua virgindade. Quando foi pedida em casamento por um príncipe pagão de nome Ereo, filho do rei de Inglaterra, o seu pai acedeu receoso, impondo entre outras condições que a filha fosse acompanhada por dez virgens, e outras mil para ela e para cada uma das dez que a acompanhavam, e que o casamento tivesse lugar no prazo de três anos. Numa viagem, um anjo anuncia a Úrsula que ela morrerá martirizada. Úrsula decide realizar una peregrinação a Roma para obter a consagração dos seus votos secretos. Em Roma, foi recebida com muitas honras pelo papa Ciríaco, que consagrou os seus votos de virgindade. Recebendo uma revelação de que morrerá mártir com as virgens, o papa renuncia ao papado e, juntamente com muitos bispos, parte com elas. Dirigem-se à Alemanha, onde encontram Colónia sitiada pelos hunos, que matam todas as virgens. O príncipe dos hunos apaixona-se por Úrsula e quer tomá-la por mulher, mas a jovem resiste e ele mata-a com uma seta.


(2)Arqº António Rodrigues : António Rodrigues, arquitecto, foi mestre de obras régias, e, mais tarde, também das fortificações, entre 1564 e 1590. Tendo leccionado geometria e perspectiva na aula régia, foi neste contexto que presumivelmente escreveu este tratado anónimo de arquitectura, cuja primeira versão é o códice 3675 da Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal. Reconhecem-se como obra sua documentada a Igreja de Santa Maria da Graça ou a sacristia e casa do capítulo do Mosteiro de Jesus, ambos em Setúbal, e é-lhe atribuída a reforma da Capela das Onze Mil Virgens, em Alcácer do Sal

Mosteiro dos Jerónimos - Jerónimos Monastery (Belém)

Monumento à riqueza dos Descobrimentos, o Mosteiro dos Jerónimos situa-se em Belém, Lisboa, à entrada do Rio Tejo. Constitui o ponto mais alto da arquitectura manuelina e o mais notável conjunto monástico do século XVI em Portugal e uma das principais igrejas-salão da Europa.
Destacam-se o seu claustro, completo em 1544, e a porta sul, de complexo desenho geométrico, virada para o rio Tejo. Os elementos decorativos são repletos de símbolos da arte da navegação e de esculturas de plantas e animais exóticos.
O monumento é considerado património mundial pela UNESCO, e em 7 de Julho de 2007 foi eleito como uma das sete maravilhas de Portugal.

Le Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, est situé à l'ouest de Lisbonne, dans le quartier de Belém. Cet ensemble, composé de l'église Santa Maria, est un célèbre chef d'œuvre de l'architecture manuéline.
Il fut construit entre 1496 et 1572, grâce à la vente des épices et aux richesses rapportées, à la suite des expéditions de Vasco de Gama, dans le Nouveau Monde. Dans l'église se trouvent les tombeaux du Manuel Ier de Portugal, de Vasco de Gama et du poète Luís de Camões. Dans le monastère sont installés les musées de la marine et d'archéologie


The Hieronymites Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, pron. IPA: [muʃ'tɐiɾu duʃ ʒɨ'ɾɔnimuʃ]) is located in the Belém district of Lisbon, Portugal. This magnificent monastery can be considered one of the most prominent monuments in Lisbon and is certainly one of the most successful achievements of the Manueline style. In 1983 it was classified by the UNESCO, with nearby Torre de Belém, as a World Heritage Site.
CThe house for the Hieronymite monks was built on the same site of the Ermida do Restelo, a hermitage that was founded by Henry the Navigator at about 1450. It was at this hermitage, that was already in disrepair, that Vasco da Gama and his men spent the night in prayer before departing for India in 1497.
The existing structure was started on the orders of Manuel I (1515-1520) to commemorate Vasco da Gama's successful return from India. It was originally meant as a church for the burial of the House of Aviz, but it also became a house of prayer for seamen leaving or entering port.
Construction of the monastery began in 1502 and took 50 years to complete. He used pedra lioz, a local gold-coloured limestone, for its construction. The building of the monastery was funded by a 5% tax on eastern spices, with the exceptions of pepper, cinnamon and cloves, revenue from which went straight to the Crown. By this influx of riches, the architects had enough financial margin to think big. The enormous amount of funds needed for this monastery, meant abandoning the construction of the Aviz pantheon in the Monastery of Batalha.
The monastery was designed in the Manueline style by Diogo de Boitaca (who was probably one of the originators of this style with the Igreja de Jesus in Setúbal). He built the church, the monastery, the sacristy and the refectory. He was succeeded by the Spaniard João de Castilho, who took charge of construction in around 1517. João de Castilho gradually moved from the Manueline style to the Plateresco style, a style with lavish decorations that remind of silver ware (plata = silver). There were several sculptors who made their mark on this building. Nicolau Chanterene added depth with his Renaissance themes. The construction came to a halt when the king Manuel I died in 1520.
The architect Diogo de Torralva resumed the construction of the monastery in 1550, adding the main chapel, the choir and completing the two storeys of the monastery, using only Renaissance motifs. His work was continued in 1571 by Jérôme de Rouen (also called Jerónimo de Ruão) who added some Classical elements. The construction stopped in 1580 with the union of Spain and Portugal, because the building of the Escorial in Spain was now draining away all the funds.
The monastery withstood the Great Earthquake of 1755 without too much damage. But when the building became vacant in 1833 by the abolition of the religious orders in Portugal, it began to deteriorate to the point of almost collapsing. A cupola was later added to the southwestern tower.
On December 13, 2007 the Treaty of Lisbon has been signed at the monastery, laying down the basis for the reform of the European Union.

Поездка в монастырь Жеронимуш в Лиссабоне, Jerónimos Monastery, Lisboa, Portugal

Jeronimos Monastery
The Jeronimos Monastery dates back to the early 16th century. It was commissioned when King Manuel I asked the Pope for permission to build it in thanks to the Virgin Mary for the successful voyage to India of the great explorer, Vasco de Gama.

Construction began in 1501 on the site of a hermitage which was founded by Henry the Navigator, and where Vasco da Gama and his crew spent their last night in Lisbon, giving prayer before leaving on their historic voyage.

The Jeronimos Monastery was inhabited by monks of the order of Saint Jerome, who were tasked with celebrating a daily mass for the sailors and for the king’s soul.

The monks were also tasked with hearing confessions and providing spiritual counsel to the intrepid seafarers who set sail on their voyages of discovery from Belem, here in the heart of Lisbon.

The site has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historical significance and for its architectural importance, as one of the greatest examples of art and architecture in Portugal during the time of the discoveries. It is also the mausoleum of King Manuel I and his successors, making it one of the most important buildings in Portugal.

The Jeronimos Monastery was designed by architect Diogo de Boitaca, who was responsible for the ground-breaking Igreja de Jesus in Setubal. As the project continued, Diogo de Boitaca was succeeded first by Joao de Castilho of Spain, Diogo de Torralva of Portugal and finally Jeronimo de Ruao.

Much of the monastery was decimated by the great earthquake of 1755 which damaged huge swathes of Lisbon. However it was thankfully not destroyed completely and has undergone a number of restoration projects in the 250 years since.

Following the dissolution of the monasteries in 1833 the building reverted to being the property of the state, after which it was used by a Lisbon children’s charity until mid-way through the Second World War. It is now open to the public and is well worth a visit both for its historical significance and for its delightful Manueline architecture.

The main entrance to the Jeronimos Monastery is via the south portal, which was designed by de Castilho. Here the central pillar is adorned by a statue of Henry the Navigator and further pillars inside the building are decorated with figurative sculptures, forming vaults over three aisles.

Head through the west door to admire the cloisters, whose stonework is even more impressive than that of the main church. Also designed by de Castilho, the cloisters are on two levels and are adorned on practically every surface with highly elaborate Manueline sculptural pieces.

Томар Португалия май 2013

Маленькое селение Томар превратилось в город, благодаря строительству в 1169г. резиденции Великого Магистра ордена португальских тамплиеров Гуалдина Пайша. Орден состоял из рыцарей, главной целью, которых была помощь в освобождении Португалии от мавров. В обмен на эту услугу ордену позволили сохранить за собой треть всех земель, завоеванных к югу от Тежу.
В 1510-1513гг. на территории крепости построили монастырь, выдающийся образец стиля мануэлино. Монастырь украшают знаменитые окна (всего их три, но для обозрения доступны два) с мотивами океана и эпохи Великих географических открытий: запутанные морские канаты, водоросли, кораллы, королевские символы и крест – символ ордена Христа.
