Quinta Templária em Tomar | LBN1221

Quinta da Granja is a unique property in the Tomar region, both for its size - 232 hectares of land - and for the architectural grandeur of its main building, whose construction dates back to the 16th century. History tells us that the estate was donated to the Order of Christ in 1531, and that between then and 1543, the prior of the Convent of Christ, Friar António de Lisboa, increased the built area, ordering the construction of 'a seat of houses with an oratory', thus making the palace a resting place for the friars of Tomar. Today, the imposing building has a gross construction area of over two thousand square meters, divided into two floors and 37 rooms.
