Manueline style
The Manueline style is a Portuguese architectural style of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, named after King Manuel I. It combined late Gothic forms with elaborate maritime and exotic motifs such as ropes, shells and armillary spheres. Funded by the wealth of the Portuguese Empire, its monuments include the Jeronimos Monastery and the Tower of Belem in Lisbon.
