The present dissertation develops a study about São Jerónimo's Chapel, constructed in the XVI Century, on the top of Restelo's hill, within the land belonging to the Monastery of Santa Maria de Belém. The complexity of the chapel and its evident architectonic value and significance, regarding the geometry of the facades, volume's proportion and composition, materiality and relation between sobriety and the detailed ornament; and from the territorial point of view, in the affiliation that it establishes with the Monastery and the São Vicente Tower, likewise the Santo Cristo Chapel, that also integrated the monasterial wall, justify a proper reflection. Thus, this research minutely analyses the architecture of the building, starting with the author's survey, without obliterating the site's context, and its urban transformations since its origins, reassembling the atmosphere that prevailed before the XX Century, when it emerged on the hill, between walls, on the interface between interior and exterior, and on the limit between two worlds.
