The magnificent entrance portico of the Igreja de Santa Maria da Vitória is unique in the history of Portuguese art, a work by the Master Huguet (1402–1438).

創設者礼拝堂は、主ファサードの右側にあります。当初の修道院計画には含まれておらず、ヨハン1世が家族の霊廟を建設することを決定したことによって存在することになりました。建設は1433/34年頃に完了しました。ここは歴史的および芸術的な意味合いに満ちた空間です。当初は平面が四角形でしたが、中央で八角形に変わり、複雑な星形ヴォールト天井で覆われています。これは、大きな墓に埋葬されているヨハン1世とフィリッパ・デ・ランカスター王妃を称える真の天蓋となります。15世紀ポルトガルで最大のゴシック様式のアーチであるこの墓の蓋には、2人の横たわる王が手を取り合って描かれており、それぞれの紋章が付いた天蓋で覆われています。 南側の後壁には、15世紀第2四半期の、カモンイスが「有名な世代」と呼んだ、これらの王たちの子供たちの墓があります。右から左へ：王子であり摂政であったドン・ペドロとその妻コインブラ公爵夫人イザベル・デ・ウルゲル、エンリケ航海王子とキリスト騎士団総長（横たわる像あり）、サンティアゴ騎士団総長ドン・ジョアン王子とその妻イザベル、フェズでの捕虜中に聖人として亡くなったアヴィス騎士団総長フェルナンド王の墓。 カステラ王カルロス1世が命じた3つの棺は、20世紀初頭のもので、礼拝堂の西側にあります。ここには、左から右へ、ヨハン1世の孫であるアフォンソ5世、アフォンソ5世の息子であるジョアン2世、そして最後に1491年にサンタレン地域での乗馬事故で早世したジョアン2世の息子であるアフォンソ皇太子が埋葬されています。

After the revolution of 1383, Portugal found itself in a difficult conflict with the neighboring Kingdom of Castile. The battle was decided in 1385 when the Castilian and Portuguese armies clashed at the Battle of Aljubarrota. The Castilians outnumbered and were better armed. As a military leader, Nuno Álvares Pereira loyally stood by his patron, John of Avis. The Portuguese achieved a resounding victory, which is attributed in particular to the strategic genius of Nuno Álvares Pereira. With this victory, the Castilian claims to Portugal were permanently repelled. John of Avis was proclaimed king by the Cortes, as John I of Portugal, thus establishing the second Portuguese dynasty, the House of Avis. Nuno Álvares Pereira became a national hero, and the grateful king showered him with honors and material possessions.
