    I used the card on the metro, on trams, on the train. It also gave access to several historic sites, like the Panteon, etc.

One of the most popular landmarks in Lisbon, the Jerónimos Monastery is a masterpiece of 16th-century architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

History

The Jerónimos Monastery was built to honour Portugal's global expansion in the 15th and 16th centuries, especially the return of explorer Vasco de Gama, who had returned safely from his sea voyage to India.
