Exchange Traded Funds – Online Brokerage Firms

They’re Exchange traded funds (ETFs) — and they’re half mutual fund, half individual security. With an ETF, you buy and sell shares in an entire portfolio of securities — as if you were buying and selling shares of a single stock. And just like with mutual funds, you own shares of the ETF rather than shares of the underlying investments. Each ETF tracks an index or a sector, both broad and narrow. An ETF can include dozens or hundreds or thousands of securities. As the number of indexes to track keeps growing, so do the number of ETFs… And here’s an interesting tidbit… In the US — each index typically has just one ETF tracking it… So only one ETF goes where no other ETF has gone before.Live long and prosper.

Bairro de Belém – Lisboa (Portugal).

CASTELLANO
El Monasterio de los Jerónimos de Santa María de Belém, se ubica en el barrio de Belém, Lisboa.

Diseñado en estilo manuelino por el arquitecto Juan de Castillo, fue encargado por el rey Manuel I de Portugal para conmemorar el afortunado regreso de la India de Vasco de Gama, se fundó en 1501 en la antigua ermita fundada por el Infante D. Enrique. La primera etapa constructiva de la iglesia nueva comienza en 1514 y fue ampliándose y modificándose hasta el siglo XX. Se financió gracias al 5% de los impuestos obtenidos de las especias orientales, a excepción de los de la pimienta, la canela y el clavo, cuyas rentas iban directamente a la Corona.

Este monasterio fue levantado sobre el enclave de la Ermida do Restelo en lo que fue la playa de Restelo, ermita fundada por Enrique el Navegante, y en la cual, Vasco de Gama y sus hombres pasaron la noche en oración antes de partir hacia la India.

El estilo manuelino se caracteriza por la mezcla de motivos arquitectónicos y decorativos del gótico tardío y del renacimiento. Destacan los portales principal y lateral, el interior de la iglesia y el magnífico claustro. Las capillas de la iglesia fueron remodeladas en puro estilo renacentista en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI y contienen las arcas funerarias de Manuel I y su familia, además de otros reyes de Portugal.

En los Jerónimos se hallan también las tumbas (neomanuelinas) del navegador Vasco da Gama y el poeta Luís de Camões. En una capilla del claustro descansan, desde 1985, los restos del escritor Fernando Pessoa.
En un anexo construido en 1850 se ubica el Museo Nacional de Arqueología, el Museu da Marinha se encuentra en el ala oeste.

En diciembre de 2007 se firmo en este monasterio el Tratado de Lisboa, un acuerdo de la Unión Europea que sustiyute la Constitución Europea y reforma los tratados que estaban vigentes.

Este monasterio, al igual que la cercana Torre de Belém y el Monumento a los Descubrimientos simboliza la Era de las exploraciones portuguesa y se cuenta entre las principales atracciones turísticas de Lisboa.

La primera etapa constructiva se encargó al arquitecto de origen francés, el maestro Diogo Boytac (o Boitaca), autor de la primitiva iglesia de Jesús de Setúbal. Su proyecto no fue llevado a cabo pues fue sustituido por el proyecto del siguiente arquitecto, Juan de Castillo. Boytac trabajó en el edificio en los años de 1514 y 1516. Planificó la obra siguiendo las normas imperantes del momento por toda Europa del gótico final. De esta etapa poco queda hoy.

En 1516 le sucedió en las obras Juan de Castillo (en Portugal era conocido como João de Castilho). Juan de Castillo era de origen español según acredita un documento en que sus parientes dicen Juan de Castillo era natural de la Merindad de Trasmiera del reino de Castilla… concretamente de Castillo, pequeña localidad de la comarca de Trasmiera en Cantabria. Se sabe que trabajó en España hasta 1505. Con Castillo la obra comienza en su mayor diménsión y se corresponde con las mejores partes del edificio en estilo manuelino conjugándolo con el plateresco y estructuras renacentistas. Bajo su dirección se construyó la iglesia con las más osadas bóvedas, el claustro, la sacristía, la sala capitular y el refectorio.

A la muerte del rey Manuel (1521) las obras no se paralizaron y continuarón en tiempos del rey Juan III, hasta que más tarde continuaron con el arquitecto español Diego de Torralva en 1544. La fecha aparece grabada en la piedra. La diferencia de estilo de este arquitecto con respecto al los anteriores se muestra sobre todo en el gran friso alto realizado por Diego de la Zarza y en la introducción de los medallones vueltos de lado.

El monasterio fue confiado a los jerónimos, que estuvieron en él hasta 1833 en que fueron expulsados por la autoridad civil.

La portada meridional fue diseñada por el arquitecto Juan de Castillo que se inspiró en el estilo tardogótico aun vigente con la introducción de la decoración plateresca y elementos renacentistas. Está dividida verticalmente en dos cuerpos. El de abajo consta de un gran arco conopial que cobija dos puertas de acceso. En el tímpano se pueden ver unos bajorrelieves con representaciones de la vida de san Jerónimo y el escudo portugués. El arco está rematado por una escultura de la Virgen de Belém. La parte superior presenta una ventana de arco de medio punto.

ENGLISH
The Hieronymites Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) is located near the shore of the parish of Belém, in the municipality of Lisbon, Portugal. The monastery is one of the most prominent monuments of the Manueline-style architecture (Portuguese late-Gothic) in Lisbon, classified in 1983 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém.

The construction of the monastery and church began on 6 January 1501 (and were completed 100 years later). King Manuel originally funded the project with money obtained from the Vintena da Pimenta, a 5% tax on commerce from Africa and the Orient, equivalent to 70 kilograms (150 lb) of gold per year, with the exception of pepper, cinnamon and cloves (which went directly to the Crown. With the influx of riches, the architects were not limited to small plans, and resources already perscribed for the Monastery of Batalha (including the Aviz pantheon) were redirected to the project in Belém.

Manuel I selected the religious order of Hieronymite monks to occupy the monastery, whose role it was to pray for the King’s eternal soul and to provide spiritual assistance to navigators and sailors who departed from the beach of Restelo to discover the world.[2][1] This the monks did until 1833 (over four centuries), when the religious orders were dissolved and the monastery was unoccupied.

The monastery was designed in a style that later became known as Manueline: a richly ornate architectural design that includes complex sculptural themes incorporating maritime elements and objects discovered during naval expeditions, carved in limestone. Diogo de Boitaca,[1] the architect, pioneered this style in the Monastery of Jesus in Setúbal. On this project Boitaca was responsible for the plans and contracting work on the monastery, the sacristy, and the refectory. He used calcário de lioz, a local gold-coloured limestone, that was quarried from Ajuda, the valley of Alcántara, Laveiras, Rio Seco and Tercena, for its construction. Boitaca was succeeded by the Spaniard Juan de Castilho, who took charge of construction around 1517. Castilho gradually moved from the Manueline to the Spanish Plateresque style, an ornamentation that included lavish decorations that recall silverware (Spanish: plata). The construction came to a halt when the King Manuel I died in 1521.

There were several sculptors who made their mark on this building. Nicolau Chanterene added depth with hisRenaissance themes. The architect Diogo de Torralva resumed the construction of the monastery in 1550, adding the main chapel, the choir, and completing the two stories of the monastery, using only Renaissance motifs. Diogo de Torralva’s work was continued in 1571 by Jérôme de Rouen (also called Jerónimo de Ruão) who added some Classical elements. The construction stopped in 1580 with the union of Spain and Portugal, because the building of the Escorial in Spain was now draining away all the funds.

The ornate side entrance to the monastery was designed by Juan de Castilho and is considered one of the most significant of his time, but is not, in fact, the main entrance to the building. This shrine-like portal is large, 32 metre high and 12 metre wide, extending two stories. Its ornate features includes an abundance of gables and pinnacles, with many carved figures standing under a baldachin in carved niches, around a statue of Henry the Navigator, standing on a pedestal between the two doors.

The tympanum, above the double door, displays, in half-relief, two scenes from the life of Saint Jerome: on the left, the removal of the thorn from the lion’s paw and, on the right, the saints experience in the desert. In the spandrel between these scenes is the coat-of-arms of king Manuel I, while the archivolt and tympanum are covered in Manueline symbols and elements. The Madonna (Santa Maria de Belém) is located on a pedestal on top of the archivolt, surmounted by the archangel Michael, while above the portal there is a cross of the Order of Christ. The portal is harmoniously flanked on each side by a large window with richly decorated mouldings.

Los críticos de arte consideran este monasterio como la joya del estilo manuelino y uno de los monumentos más importantes de Lisboa y Portugal.

El interior es muy amplio y luminoso, con una sola nave de planta salón y una abigarrada decoración manuelina. La bóveda del crucero es grandiosa y cubre una superficie de 29 x 19 metros, sin apoyos centrales y con una compleja red de nervaduras. Fue diseñada por Juan de Castillo en 1522. La bóveda de la nave también fue diseñada por él y fue realizada en 1520. La Capilla mayor fue reformada posteriormente por el maestro Jerónimo Ruão en estilo renacentista avanzado con el mismo estilo que la capilla mayor de la iglesia del Monasterio de El Escorial. En el retablo destaca sobre todo el sagrario, pieza de orfebrería portuguesa del siglo XVIII de gran calidad. Es también de gran importancia el conjunto pictórico compuesto por unas tablas con el tema de la vida de Jesús. En esta capilla se encuentran apoyadas sobre leones las tumbas del rey Manuel I y su esposa María y de Joao III y Catarina de Austria.

Boitaca was succeeded by the Spaniard Juan de Castilho, who took charge of construction around 1517. Castilho gradually moved from the Manueline to the Spanish Plateresque style, an ornamentation that included lavish decorations that recall silverware (Spanish: plata). The construction came to a halt when the King Manuel I died in 1521.

The architect Diogo de Torralva resumed the construction of the monastery in 1550, adding the main chapel, the choir, and completing the two stories of the monastery, using only Renaissance motifs. Diogo de Torralva’s work was continued in 1571 by Jérôme de Rouen (also called Jerónimo de Ruão) who added some Classical elements. The construction stopped in 1580 with the union of Spain and Portugal, because the building of the Escorial in Spain was now draining away all the funds.

Diogo Boitac laid the foundations for this three-aisled church with five bays under a single vault, a clearly marked but only slightly projecting a transept and a raised choir. The hall church layout is composed of aisles and nave that are of equal height. Boitac built the walls of the church as far as the cornices and then started with the construction of the adjoining monastery.

Juan de Castilho, a Spanish architect and sculptor, continued the construction in 1517. He completed the retaining walls and the unique single-span ribbed vault, a combination of stellar vaulting and tracery vaults spanning the 19 metre-wide church. Each set of ribs in the vaulting is secured by bosses. The bold design (1522) of the transversal vault of the transept lacks any piers or columns, while Boitac had originally planned three bays in the transept. The transept’s unsupported vault gives the visitor the impression that it floats in the air.

Castilho also decorated the six 25 metre-high, slender, articulated, octagonal columns with refined grotesque or floral elements typical of the Renaissance style. The construction of this late-Gothic hall is aesthetically and architecturally a masterwork: it augments the spatial effect of this vast building. The northern column closest to the transept there is a medallion that may have been intentionally included as a portrait of Boitac or Juan de Castilho.

At the end of the side aisles and on both sides of the choir are altars (also in the Manueline-style) dating from the 16th and the 17th centuries. They are decorated with carved/sculpted wood and plated in golden and green pigment, one of which supports the image of Saint Jerome in multi-coloured enamelled terracotta.

This chancel was ordered by Queen Catherine of Austria as the final resting place for the royal family. It is the work of Jerónimo de Ruão (Jean de Rouen) in the Classical style. The royal tombs rest on marble elephants and are set between Ionic pillars, topped by Corinthian pillars. The tombs on the left side of the choir belong to king Manuel I and his wife Maria of Aragon, while the tombs on the right side belong to King João III and his wife Queen Catherine of Austria.
