On this day in 2015 we visited Batalha in Portugal, with its amazing Monastery.

Constructed in fulfilment of a vow by King João to commemorate the victory over the Castilians at Aljubarrota (15 August 1385), the Dominican Monastery of Batalha … is one of the masterpieces of Gothic art.

Inside Batalha Monastery columns soar.
