This was a really special visit because I visited a convent that belonged to the order of the Templars, it is cataloged as one of the most emblematic buildings of the Portuguese culture, I always felt a weakness for the history of the Knights Templar and to visit a space where they walked it is something that really excites me, join me in my post to see the history of this beautiful convent🚙🚩

🌲⛲MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE/ MI EXPERIENCIA PERSONAL🤴👸
From a distance we can confuse the convent with a castle because its architecture is quite similar, its construction represents a beautiful and great Portuguese history, to reach this tourist site we must go to the city of Tomar, which is located in the district of Santarem We would have to travel to the center of Portugal, the entrance was 4 euros since they gave us a "family" discount for being several people, I was accompanied by my wife, sister, and my friend Zuly, who always accompanies me on my trips when I visit the north!🧓👨👩👧
A lo lejos podemos confundir el convento con un castillo y es que su arquitectura es bastante similar, su construccion represanta una hermosa y gran historia portuguesa, para llegar a este sitio turistico debemos ir a la ciudad de Tomar que la ubicamos en el distrito de Santarem tendriamos que viajar al centro de Portugal, la entrada fueron 4 euros ya que nos hicieron un descuento "familiar" por ser varias personas, estuve acompañado por mi esposa hermana y mi amiga zuly que siempre me acompaña en mis viajes cuando visito el norte!💂♂️💂♀️🚩🏰
I want to be the first person to know all the castles and tourist sites in Portugal, it is a special hobby that I have and which I enjoy so much, currently I have already visited more than 6 castles from those further north to those in the south, it was a visit of more or less 1 hour and a half can actually take about 2 hours easily, because the convent has too many spaces to visit, it is quite old its foundation dates back to 1162, it was founded by a great Portuguese character called "Gualdim Pais" this Mr. was a member of the Templars was also the founder of the city where the convent "Tomar" is😮😮🧔💂♂️
Quiero ser la primera persona en conocer todos los castillos y sitios turisticos de Portugal, es un hobbie especial que tengo y del cual disfruto tanto, actualmente ya visite mas de 6 castillos desde aquellos mas al norte hasta los que estan en la zona sur, fue una visita de mas o menos 1 hora y media en realidad puedes demorar unas 2 horas facilmente, porque el convento tiene demasiados espacios para visitar, es bastante antiguo su fundacion data en 1162, fue fundado por un gran personaje Portugues llamado "Gualdim Pais" este señor fue miembro de los templarios fue tambien el fundador de la ciudad donde esta el convento "tomar"🏯🏯
If you read a bit of history about the Templars you realize that they were very advanced and many of them were rich here in Portugal, to refresh your memory a Templar was a person who belonged to a religious theology in this case "Catholicism" and who were trained as warriors to defend the beliefs of their "religion", in history they were not known for doing "good" things on the contrary they carried out massacres in many towns with those who were considered "heretics"💂♂️🏰🏯
Si lees un poco de historia sobre los templarios percibes que fueron muy avanzados y muchos de ellos eran ricos aqui en Portugal, para refrescar la memoria un templario era una persona que pertenecia a una teologia religiosa en este caso "catolicismo" y que eran entrenados como guerreros para defender las creencias de su "religion", en la historia no fueron conocidos por hacer cosas "buenas" todo lo contrario llevaron a cabo masacres en muchos pueblos con aquellos que eran considerados "herejes"💯💥❌
🌲⛲HISTORIA/ HISTORIA🤴👸
The Templars were known for creating a great banking system, in fact it is said that it was the most important in the world! When we arrived at the facilities we found a beautiful, very old and well-preserved wall, we passed through a beautiful garden that surrounds the convent until we reached the patio, I personally recommend visiting the convent in summer, the weather is very good and you have a nice sun to take some nice pictures! Inside the convent there are hundreds of pieces that belonged to the Templar monks and we can photograph pieces that are many centuries old!🏯🏰
Los templarios fueron conocidos por crear un gran sistema bancario, en realidad se dice que fue el mas importante del mundo! cuando llegamos a las instalaciones nos conseguimos una hermosa muralla muy antigua y bien preservada, pasamos por un lindo jardin que rodea el convento hasta llegar al patio, personalmente recomiendo visitar el convento en verano el clima es muy bueno y tienes un lindo sol para tomar unas lindas fotos! dentro del convento hay centenares de piezas que eran de los monjes templarios y podemos fotografiar piezas con muchos siglos de edad!🧔🕵️♂️⛔
The "Organization" finished this work they were called: "order of Christ" who were warrior Templar monks, in the 14th century some areas of the convent were built, decades later in 1529 the king of Portugal John III the "Pious" made a great amount of works to the convent so we can summarize that it was an architecture with many works for many years! A combination of architectures was executed to create this beautiful convent from Gothic to Renaissance, I always think that before people were much smaller than today and it is easy to see in their tombs, but they made imposing and gigantic constructions! it was a way to symbolize power!😮🏯
La "Organizacion" acabo de este trabajo fueron llamados: "orden de cristo" quienes eran guerreros monjes templarios, en el siglo 14 se construyeron algunas areas del convento, decadas despues en 1529 el rey de Portugal Juan III el "Piadoso" realizo una gran cantidad de obras al convento por lo que podemos resumir que fue una arquitectura con muchos trabajos durante muchos años! fue ejecutada una combinacion de arquitecturas para crear este lindo convento desde gotico hasta renacentista, siempre pienso que antes las personas eran mucho mas pequeñas que en la actualidad y da para ver en sus tumbas, pero realizaban construcciones imponentes y gigantes! era una manera de simbolizar poder!💂♂️💂♀️🤴🤴
The convent was built on a hill being one of the highest in the city of Tomar, this gives us a beautiful 360 degree view of the entire city and giving an incomparable view of nature, the surrounding walls are from the castle of Tomar which is very close to the convent, so it gives us an idea that the site was also built for military purposes to defend the Portuguese territory! It caught my attention that there is some evidence of Roman constructions along the route, that is, the castle and the convent were built under a Roman city, and like many places in Portugal, we learn with this that the Romans and Arabs populated Portugal long before it was a " nation"💂♀️💂♂️🧔👨🏫
El convento fue construido en una colina siendo una de las mas alta de la ciudad de Tomar, esto nos da una hermosa vista de 360 grados hacia toda la ciudad y obsequiandono una incomparable vista a la naturaleza, las murallas que rodean son del castillo de Tomar que esta muy cerca del convento, por lo que nos da una idea que el sitio tambien fue construido con fines militares para defender el territorio portugues! llamo mucho mi atencion que en el recorrido hay algunas evidencias de construcciones romanas, osea el castillo y el convento fueron construidos bajo una ciudad Romana, y como muchos sitios de Portugal aprendemos con esto que los romanos y arabes poblaron portugal mucho antes de ser una "nacion"🚙🚩🧭🌏
In 1983 the convent was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, if I could summarize what is inside the convent it would be: "seven centuries of Portuguese history" that is why there is no way and form you can leave here without learning something new! Inside I saw several tombs, many written in Latin, quite Christian decorations.📕📕
En 1983 el convento fue declarado patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO, si pudiera resumir lo que hay dentro del convento seria: "siete siglos en historia portuguesa" por eso no hay manera y forma que salgas de aqui sin aprender algo nuevo! dentro vi varias tumbas, muchos escritos en latin bastante decoraciones cristianas.⛪⛪
It all starts with the first king of Portugal who was Henrique Alfonso who ended up giving away many territories in the area of the current "taking" to the Knights Templar of Jerusalem, there is no historical record that confirms this story but it is a legend that "the Newly arrived warriors chose a high area to build a castle that he would call "take" exactly in 1160 he was sent to populate the region of Tomar!😮😮
Todo inicia con el primer rey de Portugal que fue Henrique Alfonso el acabo por regalar muchos territorios en la zona de la actual "tomar" a los caballeros templarios de Jerusalen, no hay un registro historico que confirme esta historia pero es una leyende que "los guerreros recien llegados escogieron una zona alta para construir un castillo al que llamaria tomar" exactamente en 1160 fue mandado a poblar la region de Tomar!😎😎
🌲⛲WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TEMPLARS???/ QUE PASO CON LOS TEMPLARIOS🤴👸
What happened later was that after 200 years there was a persecution of King Philippe of France against the Templars and in 1314 this powerful order was exterminated, everything that was in the hands of the Templars ended up being returned and integrated into the country, but the warriors they would not disappear and in 1319 they created a new order called: "militia knights of christ" although it had a different objective than the order of the catholic church!💥💖
Lo que sucedio despues fue que transcurrido 200 años hubo una persecusion del rey filipe de Francia contra los templarios y en 1314 esta poderosa orden fue exterminada, todo lo que estaba en poder de los templarios acabo por ser devuelto e integrado al pais, pero los guerreros no desaparecerian y en 1319 crearon una nueva orden llamada: "milicia caballeros de cristo" aunque tenia un objetivo diferente a la orden de la iglesia catolica!💯💯
🌲⛲A NEW ORDER/ UN NUEVO ORDEN🤴👸
The new order of the "Templars" were now under the command of D. Henrique and would have a very important role for the Portuguese country since they would help the discoveries that took place in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries many years later the Knights Templar They would transform into navigators who would go around the world conquering territories and taking the "faith" to new territories, have you ever wondered why the Portuguese caravels carried a red cross??? I think you know the answer now! symbolized the cross of the knights of christ!✝✝
La nueva orden de los "templarios" ahora estaban al mando de D. Henrique y tendrian un roll muy importante para el pais Portugues ya que ayudarian a los descubrimientos que se llevaron a cabo en el siglo XV y XVI muchos años despues los caballeros templarios se transformarian en navegantes que irian por el mundo conquistando territorios y llevando la "fe" a nuevos territorios, te has preguntado por las carabelas portuguesas llevaban una cruz roja??? creo que ya sabes la respuesta ahora! simbolizaba la cruz de los caballeros de cristo!🚢🌍🌏
