Located on the banks of the Tagus River in Central Portugal, the Castle of Almourol was once a military base for the Knights Templar. While historians arent sure exactly when this medieval castle was built, they do know it date back to at least 1129. After the Knight Templar disbanded in the 14th century, the castle was left to collect dust. It was revitalized in the 19th century, and remains an important location for events and travel itineraries.
