Nice video, keep them going! Infante Dom Henrique, The Founder, The Great, The Conqueror passed to the Templars the Land on which the Convento de Cristo-Tomar and surrounds sits today as you have said. This wonderful Templaria has a very special Octagonal structure, with a very specific construction by the Templars upon their return from the Holy Lands 850+ years ago. It has as a result an important frequency - vibration that it exudes. Tomar of course is Templar/Order of Christ Central as they are called after the Templars were outlawed by Philip IV (France) There is a Wonderful Book by Freddie Silva, Called “First Templar Nation”, It is very important to the History of Portugal, it should be compulsory reading for all Portuguese People and people interested in Medieval Western European history.
Portugal is Hyper, Ultra, Rich and dont even needs to extract oil, or to vampirize all the ore on the planet. It takes a superior civilization for building such an extraordinary country and keept it a secret!
Podem colocar um palhaço num Palácio, mas o palhaço nunca será Rei. O verdadeiro Portugal foi, é, e sempre será um Reino. Um dia (e não muito distante), Portugal voltará à Monarquia. Viva Portugal!
Be aware though that most of these castles were restored to "authenticity" in the 1940s and 1950s. The Lisbon castle, for instance, was barely recognizable before the renovation of 1941.
...THERE ARE MORE CASTLES AND FORTRESS IN PORTUGAL THAT ARE NOT SHOWN IN THE VIDEO... NOT TO TALK ABOUT THE CASTLES FORTRESS CHURCHES PALACE THAT THE PORTUGUESE BUILT AROUND THE WORLD IN THE TIME OF THE PORTUGUESE OVERMARINE EMPIRE... WHICH WAS THE FIRST IN THE WORLD AND THAT LATER OTHER COUNTRIES COPIED THE PORTUGUESE MODEL...
Not every single one, but many. It can't be easy when you don't speak the language, though. But I always wonder why people don't use Google Translate in order to learn how to pronounce foreign words correctly. Yes, I do know that Google Translate uses Brazilian Portuguese, but it's Portuguese nonetheless.
You have missed a looot of castels, Estremoz, Elvas, Setúbal Santiago do Cacém, Sines, Torres Vedras, Amieira do Tejo, Portel....just to name a few... congratulations on your work, tanks for your interest on Portugals rich history.

I did enjoy this great Video. Missed a few great Castles in Portugal. Sesimbra, with a stunny view of the fishing village of the same name. Sortelha. Castelo de Vide. Portela & Pinhel. Estremoz. Chaves. Montalegre. Montemor-O-Novo. Moura. Mourao. Serpa. Castelo Branco. Nisa. Portalegre. In fact it's difficult to find a town or a village in Portugal that doesn't have a castle, because Portugal was taken Spanish kingdoms and from the Moors and needed to be protected.

Portugal normal voltará a ser uma monarquia! É e será sempre um país democrático!! O tempo das ditaduras já acabou há muito! Todos os reis têm o mesmo fim: acabam na guilhotina!
In all Europe who didnt lived inside a castle wall could be made slave, by pirates, vikings,berberes and jews who sold them to Arabs. In all Ukraine area there was only 2 castles, that was why the slavic people became to be known as slaves.
Not really! Most of the population of Lisbon lived outside the castle and they were no slaves! Ukraine has no castles because the entire country is a plane. You only build castles in high places!
@@mikatu that is not true at all...the gotc castel don´t need to be in high places.... most of people of Lisbon lived outside the castle but inside the walls
Completely incorrect point of view. First, in Slavic languages word slava means glory but not slave, and Ukrainians prove now that they never were a nation of slaves but are a nation of glory. Second, there are much more than 2 castles in Ukraine. Here are just top 10 of them ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AyTIzg597L0.html&ab_channel=%D0%A1%D0%B2%D1%96%D1%82%D0%B7%D0%A0%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B7%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%8E Third, countries like Slovakia, Chechia, Croatia or Slovenia have plenty of castles as well. So why these Slavic people should be known as slaves?
