An extraordinary immersion into the history of the Knights Templar! In the hills of central Portugal, privileged by strategic isolation, is the Route of the Knights Templar, which passes through the cities of Tomar and Almourol. A route between the castles, forts and churches that the knights of antiquity left as architectural and religious heritage. You certainly won't want to miss this tour of paradise landscapes!
The ensemble of great architectural splendor justified its classification as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. A careful visit to the Convent allows us to discover the treasures that the place has kept for centuries, linked to the Templar rituals and the history of the city. Tomar also offers regional pastry delights and is the stage for one of the biggest traditional events in Portugal, the Festa dos Tabuleiros.

Almourol became famous for its unique castle, in a strategic position, located on an island in the middle of the Tagus River. It is one of the most emblematic and scenographic medieval monuments in Portugal, due to its significance and the landscape that surrounds it. The Castle of Almourol is accessible by a small boat, which allows you to get to know this stage of legends and its walls with more than eight centuries of history.

Tomar was born from the donation of Castelo de Ceras and its end to the Templars, by D. Afonso Henriques in 1159. The territory was crossed to the south by the river Tomar, with a fertile valley limited to the west by a chain of hills of accentuated relief. It was on one of these hills, overlooking the river, that Master D. Gualdim Pais founded, in 1160, the castle and village of Tomar. The castle consisted of a belt of walls that surrounded the hill. Two wall curtains divided it inside into three enclosures. In the southern part of the fortress was the village precinct, where the orange grove is today. To the north, on the highest part of the hill, the military house of the Templars was established, flanked to the east by the Master's house, the Alcáçova with its keep, and to the west by the knights' oratory, the Charola. A third separated these two precincts, the vast courtyard of the castle, now landscaped.
