    Discovering the Centre of Portugal – Part 2 – Leiria and Mosteiro Da Batalha

    4 August 2020 /

    After lunch in Leiria, where the catsle was closed, we visited the Monastery of Batalha (Portuguese: Mosteiro da Batalha) It is a breath-taking Dominican convent in the municipality of Batalha. 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.
