Impressive medieval fortress-church - Leça do Balio Monastery - 4K Ultra-HD

Video about the Leça do Balio Monastery, donated to the Order of Malta in the early 12th century and completely rebuilt in the 14th century. It became the first Portuguese headquarters of this order, commonly known as Knights Hospitaller, standing in an important crossing point in the Camino de Santiago.
Several important figures in Portugal's history were here, such as king Afonso I or Nuno Álvares Pereira. The marriage between the king Ferdinand I and Leonor Teles took place in this church. This monastery is classified as a National Monument since 1910.
