Cloister of Afonso V, Monastery of Batalha, Batalha, Portugal, 2009. Artist: Samuel Magal

Cloister of Afonso V, Monastery of Batalha, Batalha, Portugal, 2009. The Dominican Batalha Monastery (Mosteiro de Santa Maria da Vitoria de Batalha) is a magnificent example of medieval Portuguese architecture. In 1385, King John I vowed that if his outnumbered army defeated the Castilians at the important Battle of Aljubarrota, he would build a magnificent monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Construction of the monastery, which combines late Gothic and Manueline architectural styles, began in 1386 but was not completed until c1517. The Cloister of Afonso V was built in Gothic style in the second half of the 15th century. The monastery was designated a World Heritage Site in 1983.
