Description
Step beyond Tomar’s famous monuments and discover the medieval city that developed beneath its Templar stronghold. This private walking tour explores the people, communities, beliefs and traditions that shaped Tomar beyond its Templar legacy. Discover Santa Maria do Olival, the medieval Jewish quarter and Synagogue, São João Baptista Church, Santa Iria, the Mouchão Waterwheel and other historic landmarks. Go beyond monuments to understand how religion, commerce, water, architecture and different communities shaped the city. Our storytelling combines local knowledge with Portuguese academic research. One founder has lived in Tomar for almost 50 years and holds a Master’s degree with distinction in Cultural Tourism Product Development. The Templar narrative is also curated with input from an active member of a contemporary Portuguese Templar Order. History without myths. Mystery without fiction.
