Igreja de Santa Maria do Olival
Monuments & churches
The Templars' own church, begun in the 12th century and rebuilt in Gothic style in the 13th. Gualdim Pais and other Masters of the Order are buried here, and for centuries this was the mother church of every parish the Order held overseas. The free-standing bell tower began as a watchtower, and legend says tunnels run from here up to the castle.
