4 reviews of Great Cloister of Christ Convent

A Pearl

Excellent

According to Saramago from the Great Cloister of the Convent of Christ, the cloister is dry and cold because it's a neoclassical roman structure with harshness and coldness. He said there's never total rejection nor total acceptance. It's in Tomar (Portugal), in the magnificent Convent of Christ. The Great Cloister was begun by Juan Castillo in the early 16th century. The Cloister of Joao III, as it's also known, was subsequently modified in the mid-16th century by Diogo de Torralva, explaining why one of the Manueline windows is almost hidden by it, which is a real shame since it's a pearl trapped between two walls.

Don't fail to look for it! Luckily for us, there was another to admire. It consists of two floors. A narrow spiral staircase hidden in the corner leads to the terrace with a good view of Cera, the convent and the region. In the centre, there's a fountain in the shape of a cross, the cross of the Knights.
