In architecture, manueline is the sumptuous, composite Portuguese style of architectural ornamentation of the first decades of the 16th century, incorporating maritime elements and discoveries brought from the voyages of Vasco da Gama and Pedro Álvares Cabral. The style synthesizes aspects of Gothic architecture with Spanish, Italian, and Flemish elements. The style was named after King Manuel I, whose reign (1495 to 1521) coincided with the development of the style.

Much original Manueline architecture in Portugal was lost in the 1755 Lisbon earthquake and subsequent tsunami. In Lisbon, the Royal Palace of King Manuel I of Portugal and the All-Saints Hospital were destroyed, along with several churches. The city, however, still has outstanding examples of the style in the Jerónimos Monastery and in the small fortress of the Belém Tower, both located close to each other in the Belém neighbourhood. The portal of the Church of Conceiçao Velha, in downtown Lisbon, has also survived destruction.
