Private Tour KNIGHTS TEMPLAR ROUTE Includes tickets for 2 castles and boat trip
Inspired by the mysteries of the history of the Knights of the Order of the Temple and its full symbology of hidden messages, we will take you to the discovery of the Templar treasures in Portugal.
The Order of the Templars was established in Portugal in the XII century to help Portuguese kings in the Christian Reconquest and continue the Crusades. You will see their first castle and also their first headquarters at the City of Tomar from the year 1160, at the time, the most modern and advanced military device of the kingdom, inspired by the fortifications of the Holy Land. Two centuries later, in 1312, the Order was extinguished by Pope Clement V, with the intention of putting an end to their fame and power. In Portugal, however, the Order of Christ was created, faithful keepers of all its spiritual and material riches, preserving the crusading spirit during the portuguese Discoveries.
You will be guided by stories that will carry you in an imaginary quest for the Holy Grail.
