Step into the world of the Knights Templar on this immersive self-guided walking tour of Tomar. The legendary order didn’t just defend pilgrims—they founded this remarkable city. You’ll explore Praça da República, where Gualdim Pais established Tomar in 1160, visit the Church of Santa Maria do Olival, the final resting place of Templar grand masters, and stroll through the Seven Hills National Forest, once the knights’ agricultural heart. Discover the gripping story of their rise and fall before ending at the imposing Castelo de Tomar, where a brilliant defense helped them defeat Moorish invaders. Along the way, see Portugal’s oldest synagogue, an ancient Arabic waterwheel, and more. Whether you’re a history buff or a curious traveler, this tour brings Tomar’s past to life!

Jadual perjalanan aktiviti

Praça da República (Sambil lalu)
You’ll stand in the heart of Tomar, where the grand statue of Gualdim Pais watches over a square lined with historic buildings, including the 17th-century Town Hall. This plaza has been the city's focal point for centuries, where markets, celebrations, and military parades have shaped Tomar’s identity.
Church Santa Maria do Olival (Sambil lalu)
Marvel at this Gothic church, with its simple yet striking façade, was the burial site of the Templar grand masters in Portugal. Built in the 12th century, it also served as a spiritual and administrative center for the Order, reinforcing Tomar’s deep connection to the Templars.
Synagogue of Tomar (Sambil lalu)
See Portugal’s oldest surviving synagogue, a modest yet elegant space with Gothic vaulting and unusual acoustics. Built in the 15th century, it stands as a testament to Tomar’s once-thriving Jewish community before their expulsion in the late 15th century.
Levada de Tomar – Moinhos e Lagares d’El Rei (Sambil lalu)
Follow this riverside path, which offers stunning views of Tomar’s old industrial complex, where medieval water mills once powered the city. The levada system played a crucial role in local commerce, channeling the Nabão River’s energy to drive grain mills and metalworks.
Roda do parque do Mouchao (Sambil lalu)
You’ll see a fully functional wooden waterwheel, a rare relic of Arabic engineering that still turns with the river’s current. This centuries-old mechanism once helped irrigate nearby fields, showcasing Tomar’s ingenuity in harnessing natural resources.
Casa dos Cubos (Sambil lalu)
This whitewashed, cube-like structure stands as a striking contrast to Tomar’s medieval buildings, now repurposed as a center for contemporary art and photography. Originally a Templar granary, it once stored agricultural goods vital to sustaining the Order’s stronghold.
Seven Hills National Forest (Sambil lalu)
You’ll step into a lush forest once cultivated by the Templars, where towering pines and cypress trees whisper secrets of the past. This serene landscape was not just a retreat but an agricultural experiment that sustained the knights and later influenced Portuguese forestry.
Castelo de Tomar (Sambil lalu)
Gaze at the imposing walls and towers of Tomar’s castle, a fortress designed with advanced military strategy in mind. Built in 1160, it was the stronghold of the Knights Templar and played a key role in Portugal’s Reconquista against Moorish forces.
Convent of Christ (Sambil lalu)
This sprawling complex, blending Romanesque, Gothic, Manueline, and Renaissance styles, stands as one of Portugal’s most extraordinary architectural treasures. Originally the Templar headquarters, it later became a stronghold of the Order of Christ, which carried on the Templars’ legacy under a new name.
Charola do Convento de Cristo (Sambil lalu)
Inside the convent, you’ll find the Charola, a magnificent 12-sided Templar oratory adorned with gold leaf and sacred frescoes. Inspired by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, this circular sanctuary was built to allow knights to attend mass without dismounting from their horses.
Ponte Velha (Sambil lalu)
Crossing the Nabão River on this medieval stone bridge, you’ll walk the same path as traders and pilgrims for centuries. Built in the 12th century, this bridge was vital for connecting Tomar’s fortress with the surrounding settlements.
Fonte da Gruta ou Fonte do Sangue (Sambil lalu)
Hidden in the landscape, this mysterious stone fountain trickles with water once believed to have mystical properties. Legends claim that its name—“Fountain of Blood”—derives from a battle fought nearby, where the river once ran red with the fallen.
