Portogallo, Monastero di Batalha, Primavera 2016

Originariamente, e ufficialmente conosciuto, come il Monastero di Santa Maria della Vittoria (portoghese: Mosteiro di Santa Maria da Vitória), fu eretto in commemorazione della Battaglia di Aljubarrota del 1385, e sarebbe servito come chiesa sepolcrale del XV secolo Dinastia di Aviz della famiglia reale portoghese. È uno dei migliori e originali esempi di architettura tardo gotica in Portogallo, mescolati con lo stile manuelino. Il convento di Batalha è stato aggiunto nel 1983 dall'UNESCO alla sua lista di siti Patrimonio dell'Umanità.

Obélisque commémoratif
LE CAMP RUSSE DE VERTUS
Les effectifs se monteront à 300 000 hommes, auxquels s'ajouteront les invités et le personnel de servitude.
- Le tsar Alexandre de Russie !
- Le roi de Prusse !
- L'empereur d'Autriche !
- Le prince royal de Bavière !
- Le duc de Wellington !
- 300 000 hommes !
- 85 000 chevaux !
- 500 pièces de canon !
- 2200 bouteilles de Champagne de la maison Moët !
C'est dire l'immensité de la tâche des organisateurs, chargés de pourvoir à la subsistance de cette multitude rassemblée à Vertus et dans les localités avoisinantes. On saigne la région à blanc, jusqu'à Épernay, Châlons, et même Reims. Les réquisitions sont écrasantes; elles portent sur les biens, mais aussi sur les hommes, dont 300 sont chargés de niveler la plate-forme de la butte témoin et d'y établir une balustrade.
Cinquante généraux et leur suite logent à Avize.
Le tsar, le roi de Prusse, l'empereur d'Autriche, le prince royal de Bavière, le duc de Wellington sont à Vertus, ainsi qu'une foule considérable venue de Paris, parmi laquelle on compte beaucoup d'Anglais.
La table d'Alexandre Ier, ouverte du 8 au 12 septembre, comporte jusqu'à 300 couverts, servis à la russe; elle est confiée à l'illustre Carême, cuisinier en chef de la maison du tsar, qui doit surmonter des difficultés sans nombre pour qu'elle soit digne de sa réputation.
Le pays par lui-même n'a aucune ressource, écrit-il dans Le Maître d'hôtel français, les provisions que nous en tirâmes n'ont pas suffi, aussi fûmes-nous obligés de tirer tout notre matériel de la capitale.
Le champagne est fourni par la maison Moët, à raison de 1900 bouteilles à 3 francs et 300 bouteilles de qualité supérieure à 4 francs.
La cérémonie a lieu le 10 septembre 1815. Elle débute à l'aube par diverses évolutions des troupes massées dans la plaine. Puis les souverains et les officiers généraux et supérieurs descendent à cheval du Mont Aimé pour en passer la revue. Le spectacle est impressionnant; l'histoire a rarement connu une telle concentration de troupes présentée à une assistance d'une qualité si éminente, dans un site aussi approprié.
La manifestation a eu à l'époque un grand retentissement. Elle a encore alourdi les charges des Champenois, si éprouvés, mais en revanche elle a sans aucun doute contribué à accroître en France et en Europe l'audience du champagne qui, sous la Restauration, va prendre une ampleur considérable."
Pas moins de 300 000 hommes, soldats et officiers de tous grades, armés de 500 pièces de canon, 85 000 chevaux ont été rassemblés pour cette immense parade.
Ce 10 septembre 1815, à 2 heures de l’après-midi, un signal fut donné, 300 000 voix crièrent « stourras », à un signal, 300 000 fusils firent chacun six charges dans l’espace de 17 minutes. Ensuite, les 500 canons firent plusieurs fois entendre leur terrible voix, bouquet final de cette grande fête militaire.
When the Romans ruled Evora they built an aqueduct as they liked to do in their important and busy cities. Unfortunately, in the 6th century AD, a few Germanic tribes turned up, kicked the Romans out and presumably weren’t so interested in personal cleanliness and decorum so they let the aqueduct fall into disrepair.
In the 14th century, Evora was again entering a golden age. Increasingly favoured by the kings of the Aviz dynasty, who set up their court in Evora, the city was brimming with construction activity for new royal palaces, grand houses, churches, convents, and monasteries. In 1531 King John the third of Portugal decided the city again needed a guaranteed fresh water supply. It took 6 years to clear and refurbish the aqueduct and it finally reopened in 1537.

The church was inaugurated in 1495, as a final resting-place for members of the House of Aviz. The construction of the monastery and church began in 1501, and was completed 100 years later. King 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 port of Restelo to discover lands around the world.

hace exactamente, un mes que no iba hasta estas tierras, y no tomaba un tren del tipo AES, y me di cuenta, que volví a tomar mala posición sentado, por culpa de los asientos, y lo apretado del viaje, en fin, me vuelvo a sentar en las pisaderas de las puertas que están fuera de servicio, voy mas comodo.
a la vuelta, tome nuevamente los AESs 8 y 11, que andan trabajando por estos dias, en la estacion de Unihue, ya que, este año, se pusieron algo mas entretenidos en este pueblo, porque se han puesto bastante fome, y se estan realizando carreras a la chilena, asi que, estuve toda la tarde en este pueblo.
Aun no me explico, del porque, todo tiempo pasado fue mejor!, y claro, encuentro que se ha perdido muchas cosas, antes, bastaba poner solo un avizo en la estacion de hualqui, quilacoya, unihue y talcamavida, y todos partiamos a cualquier cosa, carreras, bingos, carnavales de la mora, del choclo, campeonato de baby futbol, etc, etc. hoy, me di cuenta, que muchas de estas cosas, se han perdido, porque estuve toda la tarde, y fue tan aburrida, que ni los caballos quisieron correr, debe ser, porque los cabros chicos, creen que se las saben todas, y al momento de hacer las cosas, salen mal organizadas, y no les resultan para nada, pero en fin, al menos, vi nuevamente correr los caballos, y vi como muchos apostaban dos lucas, cinco lucas o los mas valientes diez lucas, yo no aposte nada, porque andaba pato.
no quiero hecharle la culpa al tren, pero desde ya, hace un tiempo, cada vez, emigra y viaja menos gente, y claro, yo creo, que debe ser por lo que mensiono mas arriba, la demanda es demasiada para tan poco tren.
me desvirtué un poco, pero espero que les alla interesado un poco, la vida de la gente del ramal.
saludos

O Mosteiro de Santa Maria da Vitória (mais conhecido como Mosteiro da Batalha) situa-se na Batalha, Portugal, e foi mandado edificar em 1386 por D.João I de Portugal como agradecimento à Virgem Maria pela vitória na Batalha de Aljubarrota. Este mosteiro dominicano foi construído ao longo de dois séculos até cerca de 1517, durante o reinado de sete reis de Portugal, embora desde 1388 já ali vivessem os primeiros dominicanos. Exemplo da arquitectura gótica tardia portuguesa, ou estilo manuelino, é considerado património mundial pela UNESCO, e em 7 de Julho de 2007 foi eleito como uma das sete maravilhas de Portugal.

Monisterio dos Jeronimos is on the left and the Church of Santa Maria is on the right. The breeze way entrance, to the right leads into the West entrance to the Church.
Straight ahead, at the back of the breezeway is the entry to the Cloisters.
In 1496, King Manuel I (1495–1521) asked the pope for permission to build a great monastery in thanks to the Virgin Mary for Vasco de Gama's successful voyage to India. The request was granted and construction began on the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos on January 6, 1501. The project was funded by treasures from explorations in Africa, Asia, and South America, as well as a stiff tax on the Portuguese-controlled spice trade with Africa and the East. It was originally meant as a church for the burial of the House of Aviz, but it also became a house of prayer for seamen leaving or entering port.
The original construction of the monastery began in 1502 and took 50 years to complete.
The monastery withstood the Great Earthquake of 1755 without too much damage. But when the building became vacant in 1833 by the abolition of the religious orders in Portugal, it began to deteriorate to the point of almost collapsing. A cupola was later added to the southwestern tower.

Le Monastère des Hiéronymites (en portugais : Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) est un monastère portugais de l'Ordre de Saint-Jérôme, de style manuélin, témoignage monumental de la richesse des découvertes portugaises à travers le monde.
Sur l'emplacement d'un ermitage fondé par Henri le Navigateur, le roi Manuel Ier entreprit en 1502, un peu après le retour de Vasco de Gama de son premier voyage en Inde, de bâtir un magnifique monastère destiné aux religieux de l'ordre des hiéronymites. Il a été en grande partie financé par les profits du commerce d'épices et grâce aux richesses rapportées des grands voyages de découverte portugais du xvie siècle.
Le monastère constitue l'œuvre architecturale la plus aboutie du style manuélin. Bénéficiant de l'afflux de richesses à Lisbonne, les architectes purent se lancer dans une œuvre de grande envergure. Diogo Boitaca fut le premier architecte du chantier et adopta dès 1502 le style gothique. Mais à partir de 1517, ses successeurs modifièrent ce style et y ajoutèrent l'appareil ornemental caractéristique du style manuélin où se retrouvent diverses influences. João de Castilho, d'origine espagnole, donna à la décoration une tournure plateresque; Nicolas Chantereine mit en relief les thèmes de la renaissance; enfin, Diogo de Torralva et Jérôme de Rouen apportèrent une note de classicisme.
Il a échappé au séisme de 1755 qui a ravagé Lisbonne mais a été endommagé par les troupes napoléoniennes venues de France qui ont envahi le Portugal au début du xixe siècle. En 1834, avec l'expulsion de l'Ordre religieux des hiéronymites, l'église Sainte-Marie des hiéronymites (Santa-Maria de Jerónimos) est devenue une église paroissiale pour les habitants de la paroisse de Sainte-Marie de Belém (Santa Maria de Belém).
Des bâtiments ajoutés au milieu du xixe siècle à l'ouest du clocher affectent quelque peu l'harmonie architecturale de l'ensemble qui était jusque là respectée. On y a installé les musées de la marine et de l'archéologie.
Classé monument historique en 1907, le monastère est inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1983. Le 13 décembre 2007, les chefs d'État ou de gouvernement de l'Union européenne s'y réunirent pour signer un nouveau traité constitutionnel appelé traité de Lisbonne.

The Jerónimos Monastery or Hieronymites Monastery, (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Portuguese pronunciation: [muʃˈtɐjɾu duʃ ʒɨˈɾɔnimuʃ]), is a monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome located near the shore of the parish of Belém, in the Lisbon Municipality, Portugal.
The monastery is one of the most prominent examples of the Portuguese Late Gothic Manueline style of architecture in Lisbon. It was classified a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém, in 1983.
The Jerónimos Monastery replaced the church formerly existing in the same place, which was dedicated to Santa Maria de Belém and where the monks of the military-religious Order of Christ provided assistance to seafarers in transit. The harbour of Praia do Restelo was an advantageous spot for mariners, with a safe anchorage and protection from the winds, sought after by ships entering the mouth of the Tagus. The existing structure was inaugurated on the orders of Manuel I (1469–1521) at the courts of Montemor o Velho in 1495, as a final resting-place for members of the House of Aviz, in his belief that an Iberian dynastic kingdom would rule after his death. In 1496, King Manuel petitioned the Holy See for permission to construct a monastery at the site.[1] The Hermitage of Restelo (Ermida do Restelo), as the church was known, was already in disrepair when Vasco da Gama and his men spent the night in prayer there before departing on their expedition to the Orient in 1497.

The building is one of the best and original examples of Late Flamboyant Gothic architecture in Portugal, intermingled with the Manueline style.
The earthquake of 1755 did some damage, but much greater damage was inflicted by the Napoleonic troops of Marshal Masséna, who sacked and burned the complex in 1810 and 1811.
When the Dominicans were expelled from the complex in 1834, the church and convent were abandoned and left to fall into ruin.
In 1840, king Ferdinand II of Portugal started a restoration program of the abandoned and ruined convent, saving this jewel of Gothic architecture.
The restoration would last till the early years of the 20th century. One of the last architects was master stonemason Jose Patrocinio de Sousa, responsible for rebuilding the monastery.
The Monastery was declared a National Monument in 1907. In 1980 the monastery was turned into a museum.
The Batalha convent was added as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.
-Elmas, milattan önceki yıllarda ilk Hindistan’da bulunmuştur.
-Pırlantanın işlenmeden önceki ham haline elmas denir.
-Pek çok kimse, elmas ve pırlantanın farklı iki taş olduğunu zanneder, oysa ikiside aynı taştır, yalnızca kesim şekilleri farklıdır.
-En genç elmas 900 milyon yaşında, en yaşlısı da 3.2 milyar yaşındadır.
-Elmas insanoğlunun tanıdığı en sert doğal maddedir. Yeryüzündeki en sert madenden 58 misli daha serttir.
-Bir elması sadece başka bir elmas kesebilir.
-Bir elmasla kömür arasındaki tek fark karbon atomlarının sıkışma oranı farkıdır.

"İnsanın ruhi terbiyesinin önemi" mevzu bahsinde konuyu elmasın macerasıyla mukayeseli olarak anlatmayı denedim, umduğumdan daha güzel neticeler verdi, tavsiye ederim...
Bu kadar bahsetmişken "kanlı elmas" diye bir film vardı, onu da tavsiye ederim :p
Son olarak, bu resim elmas değildir, pırlanta hiç değildir, halis muhlis avize taşıdır :))

The convent was built to thank the Virgin Mary for the Portuguese victory over the Castilians in the battle of Aljubarrota in 1385, fulfilling a promise of King John I of Portugal. The battle put an end to the 1383–1385 crisis.
It took over a century to build, starting in 1386 and ending circa 1517, spanning the reign of seven kings. It took the efforts of fifteen architects (Mestre das Obras da Batalha), but for seven of them the title was no more than an honorary title bestowed on them. The construction required an enormous effort, using extraordinary resources of men and material. New techniques and artistic styles, hitherto unknown in Portugal, were deployed.
Work began in 1386 by the Portuguese architect Afonso Domingues who continued till 1402. He drew up the plan and many of the structures in the church and the cloister are his doing. His style was essentially Rayonnant Gothic, however there are influences from the English Perpendicular Period. There are similarities with the façade of York Minster and with the nave and transept of Canterbury Cathedral.
He was succeeded by Huguet from 1402 to 1438. This architect, who was probably of Catalonian descent, introduced the Flamboyant Gothic style. This is manifest in the main façade, the dome of the square chapter house, the Founder's Chapel, the basic structure of the Imperfect Chapels and the north and east naves of the main cloister. He raised the height of the nave to 32.46 m. By altering the proportions he made the interior of the church even seem narrower. he also completed the transept but he died before he could finish the Imperfect Chapels.
During the reign of Afonso V of Portugal, the Portuguese architect Fernão de Évora continued the construction between 1448 and 1477. He added the Cloister of Afonso V. He was succeeded by the architect Mateus Fernandes the Elder in the period 1480–1515. This master of the Manueline style worked on the portal of the Capelas Imperfeitas. Together with the famous Diogo Boitac he realized the tracery of the arcades in the Claustro Real. Work on the convent continued into the reign of John III of Portugal with the addition of the fine Renaissance tribune (1532) by João de Castillo. The construction came to a halt, when the king decided to put all his efforts in the construction of the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon.
The earthquake of 1755 did some damage, but much greater damage was inflicted by the Napoleonic troops of Marshal Masséna, who sacked and burned the complex in 1810 and 1811. When the Dominicans were expelled from the complex in 1834, the church and convent were abandoned and left to fall in ruins.
In 1840, king Ferdinand II of Portugal started a restoration program of the abandoned and ruined convent, saving this jewel of Gothic architecture. The restoration would last till the early years of the 20th century. It was declared a national monument in 1907. In 1980 the monastery was turned into a museum.
The Batalha convent was added in 1983 by UNESCO to its list of World Heritage sites.

Nuno Álvares Pereira was a Portuguese general of great success who had a decisive role in the 1383-1385 Crisis that assured Portugal's independence from Castile. He later became a mystic and was later beatified by Pope Benedict XV, in 1918, and canonised by Pope Benedict XVI in 2009.
Originally, the home for the Hieronymite religious order, was built by the Infante Henry the Navigator around 1459.The chapel that existed there, to the invocation of Santa Maria de Belém, was serviced by monks of the military-religious Order of Christ who provided assistance to pilgrims who transited the area. The small beach of Praia do Restelo was an advantage spot, with safe anchorage and protection from the winds,sought after by the ships that entered the Tagus.The Hermitage of Restelo (Portuguese: Ermida do Restelo), as it was known, was already a hermitage in disrepair, when Vasco da Gama and his men spent the night in prayer before departing on their expedition to the Orient in 1497.
The existing structure was started on the orders of Manuel I (1469–1521) at the courts of Montemor-o-Velho in 1495, as a final resting-place for members of the House of Aviz, in his belief that an Iberian dynastic kingdom would rule after his death. In 1496, King Manuel petitioned the Holy See for permission to construct a monastery at the entrance of Lisbon, along the margins of the Tagus River. It was after the arrival of Vasco da Gama, a year later, bringing with him samples of gold he discovered, that the monastery became a representation of Portuguese expansionism, and that the church became a house of prayer for seamen leaving or entering port.
