Looking into the individual chapels and up through the open dome roof of the Unfinished Chapel at the monastery at Batalha Portugal where the tombs of King Duarte and his wife Leonor are located. Santa Maria da Vitória na Batalha, more commonly known as the Batalha Monastery, is a Dominican monastery in the Portuguese town of Batalha, in the District of Leiria, Portugal. It is one of the best and original examples of Late Gothic architecture in Portugal, intermingled with the Manueline style. It amazes the onlooker with its profusion of gables, spires, pinnacles and buttresses. It has become a symbol of national pride.
