Batalha Monastery, Portugal

The Monastery of Batalha (Mosteiro da Batalha) is a Dominican convent in the Centro Region of Portugal. It was erected in commemoration of the 1385 Battle of Aljubarrota, and would serve as the burial church of the 15th-Century Aviz dynasty of Portuguese royalty. It is one of the best and original examples of Late Gothic architecture in Portugal, intermingled with the Manueline style.
