Super interesting tour to the Templars in the Tomar Monastery with an impressive chapel in the fortified church and an incredible 7 cloisters 8 approx. 1.5 hours. Very interesting remarks by the guide Joao on the scientific achievements of the Templars in the field of navigation. Delicious meal in a restaurant in Tomar followed by a city tour to the Arab irrigation system and the synagogue (30 min). Short boat trip to the fortification in Almourol and visit (45min) -.
