Convent of Christ in Tomar by Jakob Frenzel

October 2020 - after sleeping in Coimbra we arrived in Tomar in the Late morning. You can drive up all the way to the  Convent which we didn’t know.so we were quite exhausted already. The small garden inside the fort is lovely with views at the foothills. We bought a combiticket 15€ for 3 WHS sites. Tomar has numerous rooms, courts and chapels. The architecture and flair is comparable with Alhambra. Orange trees, malioka tiles, springs, overall an authentic medieval complex. There is a golden chapel with the biggest wooden organpipe. The chapel very much reminded me of Aachen. Beware of the lady who sells her fruits outside the building. Apparently all from her garden but overpriced and overripe. But the lady is nice anyway!
