The Convent of the Order of Christ is a Roman Catholic building in Tomar, Portugal, originally a Templar stronghold built in the 12th century. After the Order of the Knights Templar was dissolved in the 14th century, the Portuguese branch of the order was turned into the Knights of the Order of Christ, which supported maritime discoveries of the 15th century. Today, many still make the pilgrimage to see the Convento De Cristo.
