The Castle of the Knights Templar from the Old Bridge of Tomar
This set of photos of the Castle of the Knights Templar in the City of Tomar, were shot from the Old Bridge, also known as Ponte de D. Manuel (Bridge of King Manuel I). This is possibly the oldest point for crossing Nabão River from one side to the other. This bridge seems to have been built by the Romans, but later King Manuel I, ordered some repairs in 1480 and 1550 and King João V did the same in 1710. Anyway the Castle of Tomar can be perfectly seen from this ancient bridge
