Overview

To think of Portugal is to think of a long and fascinating history, rich in achievements, discoveries and memorable achievements - from its foundation to the present day. That they reflect in habits and customs that are preserved. Let me introduce you to some of the eternal mysteries of the history of Portugal, and its connection to the Templars. The convent is one of the largest Portuguese buildings, hosting traces from the 12th century to the present day. It will reflect the medieval conventual life, the relevance/power of the Order of Christ in Portugal, and, also, its connection to the Templars. In this space it is impossible to escape the symbolism, which still today is seen wrapped in mystery
