Secrets of the Templar Order in Tomar
Get to know the secrets of the "7 Hills Park," which adjoins the mighty walls of the majestic citadel of the Order, Convento de Cristo. See a meditation well hidden in the relict forest. Look at the early medieval tombstones decorated with magical symbols. Listen to stories about the underground galleries connecting the citadel and the Church of Santa Maria dos Olivais, where the Grand Masters of the Order of the Templars are buried. Find out what stood on the site before the citadel was erected. Walk through the ancient streets of the cosy medieval city and look into the church where the Templars worshipped John the Baptist, and of course try real monastic dishes in a medieval tavern.
