Brief Description
"The Monastery of the Dominicans of Batalha was built to commemorate the victory of the Portuguese over the Castilians at the battle of Aljubarrota in 1385. It was to be the Portuguese monarchy's main building project for the next two centuries. Here a highly original, national Gothic style evolved, profoundly influenced by Manueline art, as demonstrated by its masterpiece, the Royal Cloister."
巴塔利亚修道院
"这座多明各会的巴塔利亚修道院是为了纪念1385年葡萄牙 王国在阿尔儒巴罗塔战役中战胜卡斯提尔王国而建立的。在后来的两个多世纪中，葡萄牙王室一直把修建这座修道院当作最重要的建设工程之一。巴塔利亚修道院展 示出了高度原创和有葡萄牙特色的哥特式风格，整个建筑明显受到曼奴埃尔式风格的深刻影响，这一点从皇家修道院这一建筑杰作中可以很清楚地看出来。"
