Explore the Templar Heritage of Tomar Castle
& Convent
Visão Geral do Tour
Medieval history will always be a mystery due to the lack of documents. However, Portugal has a unique connection with the Templar Knights.
They conquered all the boundaries of this small country, and in the 14th century, when French King Philip the Fair accused the Templar Knights of being pagans, it didn’t happen in Portugal. Our King D. Dinis recognized their help in building the kingdom and only changed their name and symbol from the Templar Knights to the Order of Christ.
That’s why the castle in Tomar belongs to the Templar Knights, but the convent is already part of the Order of Christ. It’s a special place that took about seven centuries of continuous construction, where we can find true history books.

Monica was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and pointed out details that I would have missed completely. Very much enjoyed the tour and Monica.
The title of the tour is Tomar Castle and Convent and is priced at Euro 40. However, since the Castle is closed, I wonder if the price should be less because the tour was only for 1.5 hours instead of 2.5 hrs.
Thank you Monica We have had a very nice visit with you !!! Continue the good work!
A fantastic tour. Monica is so knowledgeable about the history and the hidden parts of the site. A great communicator. Highly recommend this tour.
It would be impossible to appreciate, or understand, these amazing places without a guide who really knew the place and its history. So many small things that add to the story and colour would be totally missed . Monica - a local with a history degree - was fantastic. Her english is great and her knowledge amazing - and she knows how to get to secret places tj take fabulous photos even when large tour groups are around
