We begin the tour by heading north to Tomar through the Ribatejo farmland. In Tomar, we visit the Convent of Christ, originally built by the Knights Templar, and explore its Templar castle, the Romanesque round, the Manueline church, the Renaissance convent and the monastic precincts (ticket included). Let us learn how the Knights Templar originated the Order of Christ and how this new order became fundamental in the Age of Portuguese Discoveries. This convent was partially forgotten until it became today's UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After lunch we will return to the car and return to the city of Mafra. There we will marvel at the scale of the sumptuous Mafra National Palace, with its 220-meter façade, 1200 rooms and 4700 doors and windows. We will have free time to explore the many rooms without losing the infirmary and the large library with its bat colony, which protect books from harmful insects.
