The Church of Saint John the Baptist (Portuguese: Igreja de São João Baptista) was built between the 15th and 16th centuries by King Manuel I in the Manueline style. As its name suggests, the church is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. The church features many interesting artistic details, such as the flamboyant Gothic portal, the Manueline tower with a 16th-century clock, the decorated capitals of the interior columns of the nave, and several panels painted in the 1530s by one of Portugal's most important Renaissance artists, Gregório Lopes.

A rather old arched road and pedestrian bridge connecting the two banks of the Nabão River in the city of Tomar. It is said that the Romans first crossed the Nabão River on this site. It was rebuilt in the 16th century and widened in the 19th century, with the stone railings removed and replaced with metal ones. It was completely redesigned in the first half of the 20th century, with the railings renewed and widened, and the piers and buttresses stabilized. It makes a stunning photo opportunity, especially at dusk and from the nearby parks.
