Mysteries of the Knights Templar with Tony McMahon
Thank you for this great memory. I was there last July and was astounded by it’s peace and beauty. It’s lovely to have a bit more of the history.

Did you get to Tomar? The Templar ‘charola’ is an amazing bit of medieval architecture. And great to wander round the sixteenth century convent. Two day visit, worth it.
Yes indeed. I was in the area for the Festa dos Tabuleiros and the Convento do Christo was our first port of call. Stunning!
