Portugal - Tomar - 2005

 

 

Here we are in front of the main entrance to the cloisters. 

The intricate carvings of the door are “Manueline” architecture; notable in Portugal as it is focused on Sea-themes of fish, fishing equipment, dolphins, kelp, etc. 

This type of architecture embellishments are found throughout Portugal. 

This entry-way should give you some sense of the enormity of the scale of this complex.
