Lisbon: Knights Templar Legacy and Tomar Tour
Skip the line access takes you straight into the myths and legends of the Templars in Portugal. Stories so intriguing that even the producers of The Curse of Oak Island came to Tomar in search of answers.
From underground tunnels and hidden symbols to tales of the Holy Grail, your expert local guide brings these mysteries to life at the Convento de Cristo, the medieval stronghold of the Knights Templar.
Explore the iconic Charola, the round Templar church. Admire Manueline stone carvings full of secret symbols, and walk through cloisters that whisper centuries of history. Visit Santa Maria do Olival, the burial site of Templar knights, and uncover connections that link Portugal to the wider mysteries of the Order.
End the day with a visit to the stunning Almourol Castle, rising from a small island in the Tagus River. One of the most emblematic and photogenic Templar fortresses in Portugal.
