Window of the Chapter House at the convent of Christ in Tomar
There’s possibly no finest example of the Manueline style than the Window of the Chapter House at the Convent of Christ in Tomar. This window in Portuguese is known as Janela do Capítulo and it shows most of the motifs related to the maritime discoveries of the Portuguese, centuries ago. The Chapter Window is an amazing elaborated masterwork of the Manueline architecture with themes like corals of the beaches the navigators landed, ropes from their caravels, and the vegetation they found in distant strange lands.
