Highlights
Join us on an exclusive journey through Portugal, exploring the enchanting schist villages and the historic city of Tomar.
Often compared to the picturesque regions of Provence in France, Portugal's schist villages offer a unique and enchanting glimpse into the country's rural heritage. These villages, built from the native schist stone, blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings, creating a harmonious and timeless landscape.
The Convent of Christ (Convento de Cristo) is historically significant for its association with the Knights Templar, who originally constructed the castle and monastery complex in the 12th century. Over the centuries, it underwent expansions and renovations, reflecting various architectural styles from Romanesque to Manueline.
Discover the natural beauty of Portugal, the charm of its quaint villages, and the magnificence of the Convent of Christ, a UNESCO World Heritage site and former stronghold of the Knights Templar.
