«A Abóbada» is a novel by Alexandre Herculano, published by Porto Editora (86 pages, in Portuguese).
The Portuguese architect Afonso Domingues designs a complex vault for the Monastery of Batalha, but goes blind before building it. King John I commissions a new proposal from the Irish master Ouget, who is sceptical of the initial project. Herculano thus turns the construction of the monastery into a tale of Portuguese history.
