The Monastery of Batalha is a beautiful and imposing Dominican convent in the municipality of Batalha, in the district of Leiria, in the Centro Region of Portugal. Originally, and officially, known as the Monastery of Saint Mary of the Victory, it was erected in commemoration of the 1385 Battle of Aljubarrota and would serve as the burial church of the 15th-century Aviz dynasty of Portuguese royalty. It is one of the best and original examples of Late Flamboyant Gothic architecture in Portugal, intermingled with the Manueline style.

The monastery is definitely worth a visit. Visiting the church is free, but it is worth seeing the rest as well. The 6 € for it is well spent. I found the unfinished chapel and the tombs of the royal family particularly fascinating.
