A	Andrew Huang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place looks much nicer than the museum next to it which attracted me to it after I completed it. The entrance is sort of hidden away at the end of the museum and you have to make a left turn to see it. I came pretty late so I only had time to see the insides before the garden was closed. There is one person standing at the door but he didnt do anything when I entered the church. The church has a wow factor to it as soon as you step in. From top to bottom. From bottom to top. I was worried I was going to pull my neck muscle from my quick swivels. There are nice paintings are around, nice chiseled pillars and ceiling support. There is of course seating areas on either side of the altar. There is more than enough for a big crowd. I highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area. It's full of nice finishes and architecture work all over the place and a good place to pray and rest!
H	Habib Ullah Bahar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a majestic architecture! Literally spent hours looking at the church from outside and inside! The tomb of Vasco da gama made it particularly emotional for me being someone from the subcontinent growing up reading about stories about the famous voyage.

Q	Quantum Traveler on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tomb of Vasco da Gama in Santa Maria de Belém Worth to visit it, little crowded on holidays due to free entry for local residents. Tomb of Vasco da Gama By: Vítor Bastos e Costa Mota Date: 1894 Vasco da Gama (Sines, Portugal, c. 1469 - Cochim, India, 1524) Discovering the sea route to India in 1498 was the explorer's great accomplishment. Returning to Lisbon the following year, he was welcomed triumphantly by King Manuel I, who awarded him the title of Dom "Admiral of the seas of Arabla, Persia, India and all the Orient".

K	Keri Lee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s beautiful. Even if you’re not catholic, or you’re an atheist, like me, the architecture alone makes it worth the visit. We weren’t expecting to see the tomb of Vasco de gama inside so that was a cool moment.
F	Flavio Pimentel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you are going to Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, is definitely worth to pay also a visit in the Igreja de Santa Maria de Belém. It is an extraordinary architectural achievement; regardless if you are religious or not, walking along the chapels and quiet corridors of this place can provide you some precious moments of meditation.
B	Becky T on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful church that is free to enter. There are a few signs (though not many) that provide info about when it was built and the tombs there (royals, Vasca da gama, etc.), but still beautiful to wander through in 10-20 minutes.
