Private Tour of the Templars of Tomar

On this tour, we will visit Tomar and the Santa Maria dos Olivais Church. Built in the 12th century, it served as a pantheon where the Grand Masters of the Order were buried. Later, it was elevated to the Order of Christ Cathedral. Departing to discover the historic center of the city, we highlight the São João Baptista Church and the Republic Square with the statue of the founder of the city, Gualdim Pais. Going up, we will reach the Templar Castle and Christ Convent.

In the 15th century, the Order of Christ reused and modernized the old castle, creating one of the most intriguing and mysterious national monuments, the Christ Convent, classified in 1983 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, attracting visitors to admire the mysterious Charola, one of the most unique altars.

Then, we visit Almourol Castle, erected around 1170 by the Portuguese Templar knights on a small island about 20 meters above water level, and it has strategic importance in the so-called Tejo Defensive Line.

Heading south, we find Santarém. This city has, as one of its most emblematic monuments, the medieval wall of Portas do Sol and the Torre das Cabaças. Filled with memories and good times.
