This cover from Portugal depicts a complete set issued in 2024, celebrating the
Batalha Monastery, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983. The Dominican Monastery of Batalha was built in the early 15th century to commemorate the Portuguese victory over the Castilians at the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385. The monastery is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, with later additions in the Manueline style. For more than two centuries, it served as an important workshop for the Portuguese monarchy, as a site where the characteristic features of national art were determined.
