Shouldn't have snapped this pic of the Templar Knights in the car park on smoke break. They looked a little testy.  Templars aren't to be trifled with. On the other hand, I'm glad I did get the shot because we never bumped into them again inside the massive, astonishing Convento do Cristo in Tomar.

Dating back to 1160, this fortress/cathedral was once a Templar stronghold.  One thing's for sure: these dudes knew how to work a brand. The entire fortress/cathedral is drenched in early Catholic bling, heavy symbolism and must have gobsmacked everybody who was invited inside.
