  • This aqueduct, built in the 16th century, and still visible from the convent and in some sections of its lenght of 6 km, was the supplier of water to the convent.

  • Church and castle are part of a complex from different epochs and in different condition. South of the main building, a ruined structure still shows the old "Capitulo" room. Would it be possible to recover it?

  • What does it have so special? Well... nothing for the moment! But... If I succeed in my plans... one day... very soon, maybe... it will be the place for some live demonstration of glass manufacturing. And historic glass! And modern... excuse-me, and forget my deviation. Enjoy the garden.

  • Not exactly in Tomar but not very distant, this strange castle is often visited from Tomar. Standing alone in a small island in Tejo river, it is close to Tancos, the best place to take a boat for a trip along the river. If you're short in time, you may watch the castle from the border of the river, or pay one euro to a popular driving the small local boats.

     I loved Tomar! I wish I had had more time there.

     I've just started discovering Potugal for myself (only virtually for the time being) and must admit that I love your pages!
