Tomar was our next stop. What a fascinating place! I would call it home of the Knights Templars (of old). There are traces of Templar history everywhere in the town. From the architectural details on the buildings and sidewalks to the towering castle up on the hill top overlooking the medieval town.

I would love to go back and spend more time exploring. The culture and traditions seem so rich and unique. We only had to time to go through the castle and adjoining convent. It was mind blowing. So incredibly beautiful.
