The Portuguese word for Battalion is "Battle of Battle", which commemorates the Battle of Alten Barota in 1385: the Portuguese here have won more than a few, and won the battle of the Castiles (Spain), without which Portugal was annexed by Spain earlier. The Talia monastery is the most famous monastery here. The project began in 1386 and was built by 15 architects and seven kings for more than a hundred years. The church has been expanded many times in the future generations, and the whole can be divided into three major parts: the founder's chapel (Capela do Fundador) ; the unfinished chapel (Capelaas Imperfeitas); The king's cloister. There is a martyr's tomb in the chaplain's auditorium in Chapterhouse, and there is a changing ceremony at each hour. King Durtey I wanted to build it into his own mausoleum, but died before the completion of the project, so he called it the "Chapel of the Last Complete", and in Portuguese called "the Chapel of the Imperfect", which he personally considered the most beautiful place in Portuguese architecture. It is full of complexity and gorgeousness, even the window frames are gorgeous Manuel is spiral. The Jeronim Abbey in Lisbon is based on this church, using the same group of craftsmen, but the designer has died, so the perfect photography lovers who left a shortcoming should like it here, how to shoot how beautiful
The monastery's architecture was influenced by Manuelian art, combining primitive and ethnic Gothic styles to form a unique example of the Royal Monastery. There are few visitors here, which may be the reason for the inconvenience of the road. I only stayed here for 2 or 3 hours, and I rushed to Porto. In fact, I can stay here for one night. I heard that the light show at night is also very beautiful.
The Batali Monastery has a charming environment and a strong sense of history.
The Batali Monastery is a Gothic building, and at the earliest it was a very prosperous place, and after hundreds of years of history, it is still very prosperous.
