Convent of Christ in Tomar
UNESCO site
Date of Insscription:
1983
Originally designed as a monument
symbolizing the Reconquest, the Convent of the Knights Templar of Tomar
(transferred in 1344 to the Knights of the Order of Christ) came to symbolize
just the opposite during the Manueline period – the opening up of Portugal to
other civilizations.
