Church of St. Geronimo

Ceiling and column in the church of
St. Geronimo












Altar; OK, it's pretty Baroque











Tomb of Vasco da Gama; he was the guy, educated in Prince
Henry's navigation school, who found the way, past Africa,
to India, the Indies, and Portugal's golden age; no mean feat









Detail; a caravel, of course, the ship of the Age of Discovery
