An actual

As a big fan of the history of the Knights of Templar, visiting the Convent of Christ in Tomar was a huge highlight of my trip to Portugal. The history there is fascinating—this place was once a Templar stronghold, and you can really feel it when you walk through the halls. The circular chapel, with its detailed carvings, was definitely the standout for me. It’s a pretty big site, so wear comfy shoes for all the exploring. I loved the quiet, almost mysterious atmosphere—it felt like stepping into a different time. I had been wanting to see this spot for ages, and it didn’t disappoint. If you’re into history or the Templars, this is a must-visit. #europetrip #portugal #tomar
