two of the most important examples of the Manuelin baroque, the Belem Tower, at the mouth of the Tagus River, and the nearby Jeronimos Monastery, with their wonderful mix of gothic and rococo architectural elements. This church and cloister, built with money gotten in the profitable India trade, are the most outstanding example of Manuelin style, an elaborately ornamented architecture embellished with many nautical motifs.
