Restelo Hermitage, Religious chapel in Belém, Portugal
The Restelo Hermitage features a rectangular structure with a single nave, decorated with arcosolium, canopies, and a star-shaped ribbed ceiling design.
Before his expedition to the Orient in 1497, explorer Vasco da Gama spent a night in prayer at this chapel, which later received royal patronage.
The chapel displays Manueline architectural elements through its stone carvings and incorporates original Mudéjar tiles that reflect Portuguese artistic traditions.
The chapel operates under regular visiting hours coordinated with neighboring attractions in Belém, with discounted entry rates for students and seniors.
The structure stands on elevated ground, featuring a flat terrace that covers both the main chapel and apse sections of the building.
