We spent a few hours visiting the Convento de Cristo in Tomar. Papa and I visited three years ago and were impressed by the facilities and stories that make up Convento de Cristo. The convent was founded by the Templar Knights in 1118 and mostly built over the next few years, with new convents and chapels added over the next four hundred years, and the aquaduct completed in 1614. The most unusual thing about the main chapel is that there are no pews. It has high ceilings and every inch is adorned with color or carving. The Knights of the Templar came inside this chapel on horseback.
