What To Expect

1. Castelo de Almourol Almourol Castle is located in the parish of Praia do Ribatejo, municipality of Vila Nova da Barquinha, district of Santarém, in Portugal, although its location is often attributed to Tancos, as it is the closest town and from where it can be seen best. . Built on a granite outcrop 18 meters above water level, on a small island 310 meters long and 75 meters wide, in the middle course of the Tagus River, slightly below its confluence with the Zêzere River, at the time of the Reconquista it was part of the so-called Tagus Line, currently the Templar Tourism Region. It constitutes one of the most representative examples of military architecture of the time, simultaneously evoking the beginnings of the kingdom of Portugal and the Order of the Templars, an association that reinforces its aura of mystery and romanticism. With the extinction of the Order of the Temple, the castle of Almourol became part of the heritage of the Order of Christ (which was the successor in Portugal to the Order of the Templars). 2 hours

2. Convento de Cristo The Convent of Christ (12th century – 18th century) is the name given to a group of historic buildings located in the parish of São João Baptista, city of Tomar, Portugal. The beginning of its construction dates back to 1160 and is closely linked to the beginnings of the Kingdom of Portugal and the role then played by the Order of the Templars, where it had its Portuguese headquarters, having subsequently been reconfigured and expanded by the heir Order of Christ. 3 hours

3. Igreja de Santa Maria dos Olivais The Church of Santa Maria dos Olivais, also referred to as the Church of Santa Maria do Olival, is located on the left bank of the Nabão River, in the parish of Tomar (São João Baptista) and Santa Maria dos Olivais, in the city of Tomar, Portugal. [1] Built in the 12th century, it was the headquarters of the Templar Order in the country, having served as a pantheon of the Order's masters. Classified as a National Monument since 1910,[1] it is one of the most emblematic examples of Gothic art in Portugal. 2 hours

Great option if you want to explore each site at your own pace

Published on Mar, 2024

The driver was very attentive in making sure we felt we saw everything we wanted to see. There is no guide so you are at your leisure to explore each site on your own w/ any strict time restraints. You can go faster or slower which worked well for this particular itinerary.
