at 16mm, 1/40 f/5.0, ISO 100, hand held. Batalha Monastery, Spain.

La Cappella incompiuta rimane a testimonianza che il monastero non venne terminato. Essa è una struttura ottagonale separata dal resto del monastero e accessibile soltanto dall'esterno. Essa fu commissionata nel 1437 dal re Edoardo del Portogallo come secondo mausoleo reale per sé ed i suoi discendenti, ma giusto lui e la moglie Eleonora d'Aragona sono tumulati in essa. Il disegno originale era di Huguet ma venne modificato dai successivi architetti, specialmente da Mateus Fernandes (che è tumulato nella chiesa). La pianta ottagonale ha sette cappelle a forma esagonale. Negli angoli delle cappelle sono visibili dei massicci contrafforti che avrebbero dovuto sostenere le volte. Questi pilastri disegnati da Diogo Boitac, sono decorati con motivi manuelini scolpiti nella pietra.
