The “Charola of the Convento de Cristo (c. 1160 - c. 1250)” is a religious building. The Charola (or Rotunda) is an integral part of the historical complex called “The Convento de Cristo” which has been classified as a National Monument, and this in the year 1910, and as a World Heritage Site, in the year 1983. The date of its construction dates back to the castle's origins (c. 1160) and is closely linked to the early days of the kingdom of Portugal and to the Order of the Templars, having been internally reconfigured in the 16th century. It is representing an confluence of Romanesque and Gothic styles, integrating Manueline decoration and an important set of 16th century paintings and sculptures. It served as a private oratory for the Knights Templar and later became a chancel for the church built during the reign of King Manuel I.

In order to see as much as possible of this extraordinary architectural and historical jewel you should allow a minimum of two hours. Just when you think you have explored every open room...wait! There is still more to see and marvel at. Don't be afraid to peek behind curtains and venture up small staircases.....

This national shrine is the site where three young peasant shepherds spied a "lady brighter than the sun," which was, many believe, the first of six apparitions of the Virgin Mary in this region of Portugal.

It takes a full day trip from Lisbon to visit Fatima, Balthahal monastery, Bleeding host church at Santarem and Fatima. We were a group of 15 and we hired a 15 seater mini bus with a driver from the Mundo do Flamingo travel agency. Their charges are very, very reasonable - just 500 euros for 15 of us to visit these 3 sites. The driver was very friendly and engaging. Fatima was awesome. We saw the Lucia, Jacinto and Francisco's humble homes - very touching, we also got to personally meet Sr. Lucia's 99 year old niece. The Via Sacra - way of the cross garden is very calm and beautiful. The highlight of the trip was the candle light procession at 9.30 pm. Don't miss this event. Very beautiful to see Our Lady revered by some many from all over the world. When we reached back to our Lisbon hotel, it was almost 1.00 am! This place is worth visiting.

Reviewed By twocreativetravelers - Moorsele, Belgium
We loved how 'uncontrolled' this site was, many tourist spots have all kinds of restrictions but this site offered the visitor total freedom. The Aquaduct is absolutely huge, rising about 100ft at its highest point. We walked on top to about the halfway point when we returned to the starting spot. Beware that on busy days there may only be 1 way traffic up there and there isn't a ton of room to social distance effectively. We're not engineers but clearly the construction we saw here is an amazing feat for the time frame in which it was built. The views are spectacular both from the top across the surroundings as well as from the bottom as you take in the entirety of the aquaduct.

Combining the natural beauty of the river Tagus with a tour of a boat prepared for group travel, to the Castle of Almourol is one of the most interesting trips and with plenty of affluence for its characteristics. One of the most beautiful Castles in Portugal

Excellent well worth the visit . €4 to visit the Castle , that includes the boat trip to get to the castle and the ticket also includes the entrance to the museum which is about 2 miles away from the castle .

This church is huge. I was told that it seats 9000. It's across the square from the old church. It is more modern than the other church and very clean in design. I liked it.

From the first moment you arrive in Tomar, Hold on to your hat, you are in for an experience of a lifetime. The Town of Tomar is a myriad of sweet smelling small passages, streets and squares, cafe's, shops, and small restaurants and eateries to cater to every taste. The food is authentic and delicious....be prepared to gain a few pounds in weight. The Old Town of Tomar is steeped in history, and the best way to see this is a guided tour in a Tuk Tuk., its like a magical mystery tour and the drivers/tour guides are fluent in English, French and German. The Templar Castle and the Convent of Christ is the Icing on a very big cake. Go and be amazed. I will leave it at that.
