Tomar and Amourol - Knights Templar Tour
A day tour that takes you back to early medieval Portugal and the era of the mysterious Knights Templar.
Walk in the footsteps of the Knights Templar. They played a significant role in the history of Portugal. Given protection by King Dinis in the 1300s this secretive order went underground, changed its name and became an integral part of the Age of Discovery. Your journey will explore some of their strongholds and sacred locations.
We start at Almourol Castle, one of many 12th century strongholds located along the Tejo river. Dating back to the Roman era this location is highly sacred. Located on a small island we can only access by boat. Today the password to enter is a few euros but in Templar times it was a sacred word known only to few.
Our next stop is the medieval city of Tomar - the initial location of the Templar's refuge. We will visit the magnanimous Castle and Convent of Christ, the hideaway chapel, and wander the medieval town where the age of these mighty knights is woven into the tapestry of Portugal’s history and recognized in our daily life today.
