About this experience

All about The Templars history and reappearance, towards the 21th century!

IMPORTANT NOTE; Upon choosing to include the Almourol site, the guest is aware and agrees, that the visit to the INSIDE of the Castle depends on a boat ride provided by others, that due to many circumstances may not be available, so, making the visit to the monument IMPOSSIBLE.

200 years after coming back from Jerusalem, the Knights Templar could only be safe in Portugal and Scotland. Powerful institutions turned against them. Having to escape persecutions, they look for the safe land to start over, the prototype of a country they had created 200 years before. They traveled home, to PortVsgRal and a new Era began, changing the world forever!

Detailed itinerary

Any relation with the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem is not a coincidence. Plus the ground floor is not only used for pray, also serves as a gateway for templar’s treasures. This is the pantheon of templar’s grand masters as they rest buried inside the temple walls.

Founded by templar’s this is the most important headquarters of the order in Western Europe. Why? Because, like no other, in this one, the knights created for the first time ever, the structure for the biggest commercial enterprise the world has ever seen. From this point on they would give birth to new secret organizations that still exist today, defining the goals for our everyday economy and political systems.

We also visit the Tomar Synagogue and the Saint John the Baptist church
