Image of the day | Ball Game or Game of Souls of the Conventual Orchard

The Convent of Mafra, ordered to be built by King John V in the 18th century, was for decades one of the largest Franciscan convents on the Iberian Peninsula, housing hundreds of friars. Beyond the life of prayer and study, the friars had moments of fellowship, including the habit of playing ball in the conventual Orchard, currently called the Garden of the Enclosure. In this space there was an area dedicated to the Ball Game (also known as the Game of Souls), where the friars played Ball, Little Orange and Hoop. From this site, the original stone benches are still preserved, and the image was captured during a historical reenactment held in that space.
