Convento de Cristo
The Templar charola and the Janela do Capítulo reveal different phases of architecture at the Convento de Cristo.
The charola served as the Templar Order’s oratory in the castle. Inside, an ambulatory surrounds an octagonal central structure. The Janela do Capítulo forms part of the Manueline decoration of the lower choir.
It is in Tomar: see below the trips from Lisbon that go there.
