Overview

Explore the charming village of Constância and the impressive 12th-century Almourol Castle, constructed by the Templars on a small island. Next, visit the Convent of Christ in Tomar, featuring a church inspired by the Temple of Solomon, numerous cloisters, and the iconic Manueline window. These sites provide insights into the enigmatic Knights Templar, who were both warriors and monks. Tomar served as the headquarters of the Templars and later the "Order of Christ," making it the Templar capital of Portugal and Spain and a significant medieval center. The former Templar headquarters, built between the 12th and 16th centuries, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Conclude your tour at the Gothic-style Church of Santa Maria do Olival, a splendid 12th-century church for the Knights Templar
