Convent of Christ

The Convent of the Order of Christ is a religious building and Roman Catholic building in Tomar, Portugal. 
Built in the 12th century. After the Order of the Knights Templar was dissolved in the 14th century, the Portuguese branch of the order was turned into the Knights of the Order of Christ, which supported Portugal's maritime discoveries of the 15th century.

The castle of the Knights Templar of Tomar was built by Gualdim Pais, provincial Master of the Order of the Temple, around 1160.








There is a short video, posted in youtube by our youtube channel, of the outside and the inside of the castle.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhslwdrEvJs&feature=youtu.be
