Il convento di Cristo è spettacolare. L'abbiamo visitato a metà pomeriggio, quando i grandi gruppi erano già ripartiti e questo ci ha dato la possibilità di godere della maestosità di questo monumento con pochi visitatori. La visita dura un paio d'ore. È sicuramente una metà irrinunciabile se si è nei dintorni.

An amazing historical building in the centre of Tomar. Make the most of your day by walking the Castle walls and adjoining Severn Hills Park. Entrance to the Convent is only €6 per person. Avoid queung using the very user friendly Headout online booking system. Easily a whole day out followed by a short walk into Tomar Town to one of the many friendly bars and cafes.

your experience

Headquarters for the religious and military orders of the Temple of Christ, Tomar Castle, and the Convent of Christ were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. Apart from being one the best amongst the rare existing examples of the rotunda-shaped church, The Charola is known to symbolize the medieval European world of the Crusades and the defense of the faith. The Manueline window present constitutes the first synthesis between European and Oriental art. It's reserved in its original decorative grammar.

The architecture here evokes a vast repertoire of European art, embodied in styles that the passing centuries have brought to the edifice. It is known to be one of the bigger convents in Europe. Also, its main cloister is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. The rebirth of this convent itself was considered when the classification of this monastic complex was done. The region of Tomar is known to offer a rich heritage that goes beyond its rich architecture. It is known for its fairs, festivals, gastronomy with unique flavors, and high-quality craftsmanship. These are known to be symbols of their work and cultural expressions of the communities. Discover and savor everything the region of Tomar has to offer with a visit to this monumental complex!
