Location	City - BATALHA State - LEIRIA Country - Portugal
About	On 14 August I385, near to the site of the monastery at Batalha, an event took place that was to prove decisive for the consolidation of the Portuguese nation. D. João, the Master of Avis and the future King of Portugal, defeated the Castilian army at the Battle of Aljubarrota. This victory brought an end to a dynastic crisis that had dragged on since 1383. D. João dedicated the monastery to the Virgin Mary, whom he had called upon to beseech God to grant him victory. He gave the monastery to the Dominican Order. This was how a project came into being whose construction would last for almost two centuries and resulted in one of the most fascinating Gothic monuments in the Iberian Peninsula, in the opinion of many of its visitors. I loaded another views under for those who would like to know this treasure!

Linda foto, professor. Você conseguiu captar uma luz linda aqui.

Gostei muito das observações sobre esta foto (da explicação histórica sobre este monastério). Isto torna sua fotografia ainda melhor.

Um abraço,
Daniel.
