Batalha Monastery: Entry Ticket Discount Tickets

Overview

In 1385, the future King of Portugal won a decisive victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota, consolidating the Portuguese nation against the Castilian armies. In honour of his victory, he erected the Batalha Monastery near the site of his triumph. Some seven centuries later, the monastery that was entrusted to the hands of the Dominicans now contains the most important core of Portuguese Medieval stained glass. You’ll see the impressive windows in the main chapel and the chapter house, as well as a 32.5-meter-tall central nave with eight columns on each side. This religious masterpiece is a sight worth beholding.

About This Place

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a prime example of Gothic and Manueline architecture. The Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, today known as the Monastery of Batalha, was built as a result of the promise made on the battlefield, by King João I to the Virgin Mary, under the pressure of all that was at stake, to build a monastery if victory were his.
