Your Experience
A Glimpse into the Knights Templar's Rich Legacy
The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, known as the Knights Templar, were a prominent Western Christian Military order established in 1118. Although disbanded nearly 700 years ago, some believe remnants may still exist today.
Explore Two Crucial Sites Linked to the Templars' Historical Influence
Your journey begins at Almourol Castle, where you might enjoy a scenic boat ride along the Tagus River if weather allows. Perched 60 feet above sea level, this castle showcases exquisite 12th-century military architecture.
Next, travel through the charming village of Constância en route to Tomar. Here lies the Church of Santa Maria do Olival and The Convent of Christ—both pivotal in Templars’ history as former headquarters for the order. Your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating stories while you explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
