Same scene from hotel window of the castle at Tomar, taken after dark.
Saturday morning and no rain, well the heavy stuff held off for a couple of hours, just enough time to visit the outside of the castle. Built by the Nights Templers in the 12th century after their disillusion around a hundred years later became a convent and now a national monument.
Quite some building, this is the main concourse inside the walls, leads up to the church with 16 sides.
Very impressive doorway into the church.
More of the walls from the inside.
This part of the building extends from the church, part of the Convent.
Ruined section.
Another shot of the 16 sided church.
Lots of gardens to feed all the inhabitants.
Back in Tomar. Photo of a mill wheel.
The only pic I got in the town, the rain returned so we headed off to our next stop - Obidos.
