Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória
or Monastery of Batalha
Batalha , Portugal
As Capelas Imperfeitas (The Unfinished Chapels) show that the monastery was never actually finished. They form a separate octagonal structure tacked on the choir of the church (via a retrochoir) and only accessible from the outside. It was commissioned in 1437 by King Edward of Portugal ("Dom Duarte", d.1438) as a second royal mausoleum for himself and his descendants. But he and his queen Eleanor of Aragon are the only ones buried here (Eleanor died in exile in Toledo in 1445, her remains were only moved here in 1456).
The original design, begun by Huguet, was altered by successive architects, especially Mateus Fernandes . The octagonal rotunda has seven radiating hexagonal chapels. In the corners of the chapels stand the massive unfinished buttresses, that were intended to support the vault. These pillars, designed by Diogo Boitac, are decorated with Manueline motives carved in stone.
The portal rises to a monumental fifteen metres. It was originally built in Gothic style, but was transformed beyond recognition by Mateus Fernandes into a masterpiece of Manueline style (completed in 1509). It is completely decorated into a lacework of sumptuous and stylized Manueline motives : armillary, spheres, winged angels, ropes, circles, tree stumps, clover-shaped arches and florid projections. This homage of King Manuel I to his predecessor King Edward mentions his motto Leauté faray tam yaserei (I will always be loyal). This motto is then repeated more than two hundred times in the arches, vaults and pillars of the chapels.
The Renaissance loggia, added at about 1533, was probably meant for musicians. It is ascribed to the architect João de Castilho.
Decided to stick close to home for this week's theme. This is the John Barrow monument in Ulverston, in surprisingly beautiful weather :-)
Last time we were up there it was ticking over midnight on New Year's Eve/Day, there was more of a view this time!

The anchor design on the face tells us that this is a common wasp. The German Wasp has three dots instead of the anchor. This wasp is shaving wood from a fence. It will be used as paper to enlarge the nest. Wasps are the gardener's friend as they consume vast quantities of harmfull insects and caterpillars. Their diet is meat when they have young to feed and they only become a nuisance in late summer when there are no more young and the social structure of the nest breaks down. Then they seek sweet stuff like jam for themselves
