Founded in the 12th century, it showcases Romanesque, Gothic, Manueline, and Renaissance architecture, with highlights including the stunning Charola (Templar Rotunda) and the iconic Manueline Window, symbols of Portugal's Age of Discoveries.

With candlelit halls, rustic décor, staff in period costumes, and traditional Portuguese dishes served in medieval style, it transports guests back to the Middle Ages in the historic heart of Tomar.

About Lisbon
Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.
The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.
Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
