Castelo de Tomar

Tomar was born from the donation of Castelo de Ceras and its end to the Templars, by D. Afonso Henriques in 1159. The territory was crossed to the south by the river Tomar, with a fertile valley limited to the west by a chain of hills of accentuated relief. It was on one of these hills, overlooking the river, that Master D. Gualdim Pais founded, in 1160, the castle and village of Tomar.The castle consisted of a belt of walls that surrounded the hill. Two wall curtains divided it inside into three enclosures. In the southern part of the fortress was the village precinct, where the orange grove is today. To the north, on the highest part of the hill, the military house of the Templars was established, flanked to the east by the Master's house, the Alcáçova with its keep, and to the west by the knights' oratory, the Charola. A third separated these two precincts, the vast courtyard of the castle, now landscaped.
