Português: O Convento da Ordem de Cristo e o Castelo Templário, em Tomar, formam um conjunto monumental único no seu género. O Castelo foi fundado em 1160 por Dom Gualdim Pais, Mestre provincial da Ordem do Templo em Portugal, e dentro das suas muralhas viveram as primeiras gentes de Tomar. O coração da fortaleza, a Alcáçova, com a torre de menagem, foi construída a Oriente; o lugar místico, a Igreja octogonal Templária, foi construída a Ocidente. Com o extermínio da Ordem pelas perseguições de Filipe, o Belo, Rei de França, os Templários encontraram, em Portugal, a continuidade da sua sagrada missão de Cavalaria.
