Convento de Cristo
Convento de Cristo (12th century - 18th century) is the name attributed to a set of historic buildings located in the parish of São João Baptista, Tomar, Portugal. The beginning of its construction dates back to 1160 and is closely linked to the beginnings of the kingdom of Portugal and to the role then played by the Templar Order, having been reconfigured and expanded in the subsequent centuries, when the Order of Christ was based there.
Igreja do Castelo Templário, 2300-000
Tomar
Description
Built over hundreds of years by some of the most important masters and architects working in Portugal (Diogo de Arruda, João de Castilho and Diogo de Torralva, among many others), this architectural ensemble includes diversified buildings, almost all of which are of remarkable heritage relevance The medieval castle and the Templar Charola, the fourteenth century cloisters, the Manueline church and the Renaissance convent can be highlighted. Its present configuration reflects the successive functions for which it was intended and the architectural typologies of the historical periods in which it was built. In it we can find elements typically Romanesque, Gothic, Manueline, Renaissance, Mannerist and the so-called floor style.
