The origin of Vila da Batalha derives from the construction of the Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, as an ex-voto of a fulfilled commitment, made in the field where the Royal Battle was fought. This is undoubtedly the ex-libris of the village, visited by thousands of tourists throughout the year.
