Overview
Tomar’s history extends far beyond its famous Templar connections. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll discover how this medieval fortress town became a center of exploration, Jewish scholarship, and cultural traditions.
Starting in front of the Church Santa Maria do Olival, where Templar masters lie buried, you’ll follow the peaceful Nabão River through neighborhoods where centuries of Portuguese life have unfolded. You’ll hear about the Age of Discovery and several colourful Portuguese festivals as you stroll past traditional pastry shops serving sweets found nowhere else.
You’ll weave through the historic Jewish Quarter with its remarkably preserved medieval synagogue, and beside waterways that once powered mills for the powerful religious orders. Along the way, you’ll find out how Jewish, Christian, and Moorish influences shaped the town’s identity. The tour ends in the historical Largo do Pelourinho, a square that once served as the town’s center of justice.
