Tomar and its unique Convent of Christ (a UNESCO World Heritage site) have a special place in world history and lots of stories, art, and architecture that you don’t want to miss.
This charming medieval town in central Portugal unexpectedly became the unofficial new headquarters of the legendary and powerful Knights Templars, shortly after they were disbanded on the orders of the Vatican, in the 14th century. They were rebranded the “Order of Christ” and, eventually, one of its Grand Masters became pivotal to the Age of Discoveries: his name was Henry the Navigator. Later on, in 1581, the Convent of Christ was the stage for the creation of the Iberian Union sealing the formation of the biggest empire in the World at the time.
We will take you through the Convent of Christ and the Castle of Tomar, show you the Jewish synagogue, give you a flavor of the charming modern-day Tomar and take you to the most photo-friendly Castle of Almourol, located on a tiny island on Tagus River.
