We guarantee you won't be able to hold back your tears when you see the exterior of this architectural marvel. You will have the opportunity to observe the hundreds of pieces that decorate its facades. You will be surprised by the number of buttresses that support this incredible place, as well as its figures or gargoyles.

Ao entrar no interior do mosteiro poderá deliciar-se com o Pórtico Principal onde será surpreendido pelas mais de 75 figuras que representam personagens do Antigo Testamento. After finishing the view of the Main Potico, you can make your way to the Central Nave where its large and tall columns, pillars and, above all, the stained glass windows stand out.

One of the most important rooms in the Batalha Monastery is the Founder's Chapel where you can see the tombs of D. João I and his family. But no less important is the Chapter Room, covered by a stellar vault where the tomb of the "unknown soldier"
is located.
One of the most notable areas of this Monastery are the Unfinished Chapels where the last monarchs of Portugal are buried. After the death of the architects of the aforementioned Monastery, combined with war and other complications, they find themselves in the open air. Of course it is a very unusual and incredible piece of architecture.

Furthermore, you can also access its two cloisters, both places full of mystery and concerns.

Finally, we recommend that you visit the Old Refectory, a museum dedicated to the unknown soldiers killed in the First World War. Nele você encontra de tudo, desde capacetes e documentos até troféus.

Don't miss this exciting visit, we are waiting for you!
