Statue of Dom Gualdim Pais

Highlight • Monument

The statue of Dom Gualdim Pais, located in the center of Praça da República, honors one of the most important and emblematic figures in the history of the Templars in Portugal. Founder of the city of Tomar, he was born in the region of Braga, in 1118. The squire of D. Afonso Henriques fought alongside the Moors, being ordained knight by the monarch in the battlefield of Ourique in 1139. He then left for Palestine, where he remained for 5 years as a Knight of the Templar. In 1157, he returned to Portugal and was appointed Master of the Order of the Temple in Portugal, a position he held over 40 years. He died in Tomar in 1195 and is buried in the Church of Santa Maria dos Olivais, pantheon of the Temple teachers. - Tourism Tomar

Santa Iria Convent and Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

A hidden gem tucked away behind the waters of the Rio Nabão, adorned with beautiful azulejos tiles.

The Santa Iria Monastery originated as a retreat for pious women in the heart of Tomar, on the banks of the Nabão River. In 1467, Dona Mécia Queiroz, the widow of Pero Vaz de Almeida, the estate manager, acquired the Santa Iria property from Prince Henry the Navigator and commissioned the construction of a house and chapel where she and her daughters could retreat. In 1523, at the request of one of the founder's daughters, the retreat was placed under the patronage of Saint Clare.

In 1536, the chapel and retreat house were rebuilt and enlarged at the expense of Pedro Moniz da Silva, commander of the Knights Templar. This magnificent Renaissance-style structure, inspired by the Coimbra Renaissance school, dates from this period.

The Church of Santa Iria has a rectangular floor plan and consists of the nave, the chancel, the sacristy, and the adjacent Chapel of the Valleys. The interior comprises a single nave with a coffered ceiling adorned with painted ornaments, and the walls are lined with diamond-shaped carpet tiles. On the Epistle side is the Chapel of the Valleys, commissioned in the mid-16th century by D. Miguel do Vale and originally dedicated to the Lord Jesus.
