Abstract

On October 25, 1495, Manuel I the Lucky enters the throne of Portugal. This king, continuing the policy of his predecessor, John II, intensively financed commercial sea fishing expeditions. They contributed to the extraordinary enrichment and expansion of the empire, which undoubtedly became the power of the then world. Along with this began a new era in the history of Portugal, which affected almost all aspects of the state, including late Gothic architecture, which was decorated with peculiar ornaments inspired by marine fauna and flora and sailing elements.
