The tranquil atmosphere invites quiet reflection and provides a profound experience for believers and history enthusiasts alike.
Next, visit Batalha, home to the extraordinary Batalha Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a masterpiece of Gothic and Manueline architecture. This monumental monastery was built to commemorate Portugal's victory in the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385.
