The Convent of Christ in Tomar is a museum and historic monument in central Portugal, around 140 kilometres north of Lisbon. Founded in the 12th century by the Knights Templar and later adopted by the Order of Christ, the complex was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. It includes Tomar Castle, the Templar Rotunda, and a series of cloisters built across several centuries. The most celebrated architectural feature is the Manueline window of the Chapter House, carved in the early 16th century and densely decorated with maritime motifs, armillary spheres, and coral forms that reflect Portugal's Age of Discoveries.

Entry to the complex covers the full circuit of the site, including the Knights' Hall, where shields and coats of arms of Templar and noble families line the walls, and the elevated walkways of Tomar Castle, which offer clear views over the Nabão River valley. The Aljubarrota Cross, a 14th-century sculpture commemorating a decisive Portuguese battle, is among the named pieces on display. Tickets are available for individual visitors and groups, with the site accessible from Lisbon as a day trip. Opening hours and seasonal schedules apply, so confirming your visit date at booking is advised.
