TOMAR CASTLE
The historical Tomar Castle was built in 1160 by the Knights Templar as a strategic defensive stronghold against Muslim forces. In 1190, the castle proved its strength by resisting a fierce siege by the Emir of Morocco, an event so intense that one entrance was named the Porta do Sangue (Blood Gate). Following the suppression of the Templars in 1312, King Dinis transferred the fortress to the Order of Christ, later governed by Prince Henry the Navigator, who resided here during the Age of Discovery.

On the return journey to Lisbon, visit the iconic Almourol Castle, a majestic fortress set on a small islet in the Tagus River. Inhabited since the Roman era and later occupied by Visigoths and Muslims, it was conquered in 1129 during the Christian Reconquest by King Afonso Henriques, who entrusted the site to the Knights Templar to build their signature medieval fortification.
