Located outside the convent, this tower and window was one of the most striking examples of Manueline style. The tower and the area around the windows was decorated with ornately carved sculpture. These related to the discovery of the New World. Some were sea creatures, seaweed, ropes and cables found on ships, exotic animal, etc. Just a stunning ample of Manueline at it highest.

Just when you think that Tomar could not get any more beautiful or idyllic, you come to the Praca da Republica, where the Igreja Saint John the Baptist is found. The church is constructed and decorated in that 15th century Manueline style that is so common to the period. Very ornate ornamentation decorates the portal going into the church. There is a lovely bell tower too. Inside, tiles are arranged in a trompe l'oeil pattern and there is a very beautiful painting of the last supper. Just another very beautiful church in Portugal. Worth seeing.

The streets radiate out from the square. The buildings along the streets are quite beautiful. The church and bell tower are on one side of the square a government building on the other with the statue of founder Gualdim Pais in the Center. Nice views of the castle too

Gualdim Pais is firmly rooted in modern Portuguese history. As the founder of the Knights Templar, he was destined to impact all of medieval Europe and even further afield. This is a stunning statue, standing proudly yet humbly. In some way, we felt honoured to be “in his presence” when standing at the foot of the statue. If interested in the Knights Templar, this is a must-see attraction.
9. Aqueduto do Convento de Cristo
