The Portuguese meaning of Battle " is to commemorate the Battle of Aljubarota in 1385 - "The Portuguese defeated the Castilians (Spain) with a few victories and named it. Without this battle, Portugal was annexed by Spain and the Battalian Monastery was the most famous monastery here. The project started in 1386 and was completed by 15 architects and seven kings over a hundred years ago. The church has been expanded many times in successive dynasties and can be divided into three parts as a whole - "Capela do Fundador; Capelaas Imperfeitas; and Claustro Real. There is a martyr's tomb in the Chapterhouse clergyman's auditorium, and there is a job change ceremony at every hour. King Dultai I wanted to build it into his own mausoleum, but he died before the project was completed, so he named it "the last completed chapel" and in Portuguese it was "the imperfect chapel". I personally think that Portuguese architecture is the most beautiful place. Here will be complicated and gorgeous to the extreme, even the window frames are gorgeous Manuel is spiral pattern. The Jeronim Monastery in Lisbon is based on this church, using the same group of craftsmen, but the designer died, so the perfect photographer who left a regret should like it here, how to shoot it beautifully.
Influenced by Manuel art, the monastery combines primitive and national Gothic styles to form a unique example of the Royal Monastery. Few visitors come here, which may be the reason for the inconvenience of the roads. I just stayed here for 2 or 3 hours, and then I went to Porto. In fact, I could stay here for one night. I heard that the lighting show at night was very beautiful.
The Batali Monastery has a charming environment and a strong sense of history.
The Batalya Monastery is a Gothic building. At the earliest time, it was a very prosperous place. After hundreds of years of history, it is still very prosperous.
