Monastery of Batalha, a flaming victory
We continued our journey to the site of the Portuguese victory over the Castilians, which would have dictated the continuity of independence, celebrated in 1385 with the construction of the Monastery of Batalha, a flaming hymn to Portuguese Gothic art, and later a testimony of the singular Manueline art.
We emphasize the Imperfect Chapels, that are only imperfect by name because of their impressive beauty. The immense stained-glass windows of the Church, the first to be seen in Portugal by the hands of German craftsmen, are also unmissable.
