Overview
Step beyond Tomar’s famous monuments and discover the medieval city that developed beneath its Templar stronghold.
This private walking tour explores the people, communities, beliefs and traditions that shaped Tomar beyond its Templar legacy. Discover Santa Maria do Olival, the medieval Jewish quarter and Synagogue, São João Baptista Church, Santa Iria, the Mouchão Waterwheel and other historic landmarks.
Go beyond monuments to understand how religion, commerce, water, architecture and different communities shaped the city.
Our storytelling combines local knowledge with Portuguese academic research.
