Facts and practical information

The Hermitage of Restelo, alternately Chapel of Saint Jerome, is a hermitage in the civil parish of Santa Maria de Belém, in the municipality of Lisbon. The religious architecture has Manueline and revivalist Neo-manueline elements, consisting of a single-nave structure with a vaulted ceiling and surrounded by a modernist landscape, as evidenced by a preoccupation with choice of plants and manicured environment, in order to create a zone of protection for the hermitage.
