The Praça da República and the Igreja Matriz de São João Baptista are the historical and cultural heart of Tomar, a city deeply linked to the history of the Knights Templar in Portugal. This square is the nerve center of Tomar, surrounded by historic buildings and offering a charming atmosphere.

The Templar Castle was built at a strategic point to defend the territory and support the conquest beyond the Tagus River. Construction began in 1160 under the Templar Master D. Gualdim Pais. The north wing and higher ground housed the Templar Palace, with two pillars: to the east and at its highest point, the citadel with its rectangular control tower, and to the west, the fortified religious temple—the Templar Charola. Several towers and turrets are located along the extensive wall. The entire outer perimeter of this wall was protected by a rampart—a stone wall simulating a hill at the base, thus impeding the advance of assault engines, sentinels, and climbers. The wall, towers, and quadrangular and semicircular turrets contain rectilinear loopholes and broad battlements. The various military-architectural solutions undoubtedly originate from the Middle East, where King Gualdim Pais stayed for five years during the Crusades. The Charola was probably built or completed shortly after the fortifications and is intended to commemorate the Holy Sepulchre and Solomon's Temple. This castle was also the headquarters of the Knights Templar in Portugal. https://opctj.pt/castelo-templario-charola-e-convento-de-cristo-de-tomar/ The castle complex, with its walls and extensive gardens, is open to the public free of charge.
