'''Batalha''' is a town in the west of [[Portugal]] and has a population of 15,805 (2011).
== Monastery of Batalha ==
The [[Monastery]] of the [[Dominican Order|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.<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/264</ref>
