Tomar Castle (Christ Convent)

Born from the donation of Waxes Castle and its term to the Templars, by D. Afonso Henriques in 1159. The territory was crossed to the south by the river taking with a fertile valley limited to the west by a chain of high topography of hills. It was one of those hills, overlooking the river, founded by Master D. Gualdim Pais in 1160, the castle and town of Tomar.

The castle consists of a ring of walls surrounding the hill. Two wall curtains divided on the inside into three precincts. In the southern part of the fortress, it stood the village hall, where today is the orangery. To the north, in the highest part of the hill was established military house of the Templars, flanked to the east by the Master's house, the Alcazaba with its keep, and to the west by the oratory of knights, Separating these two precincts a third, the vast yard of the castle, now landscaped space.

Hey! How did you manage to get into my weapons cache and take a picture?!

[Duke of Buckingham]

I take pictures everywhere but I love them and women also.

Women gave me more troubles than guns but both get warm in my hand.

Ofuscado Pela Noite

Ofuscado pela noite por golpes de luzes mortais
Os carros passando perto, os olhos como cabeças de alfinetes
Eu esperei-te 100 anos nas ruas em preto e branco
Você veio assobiando

Ofuscado pela noite por golpes de luzes mortais
A chutar as latinhas tão perdida quanto um navio
Se perdi a cabeça, eu te amei e até pior
Você veio assobiando

Ofuscado pela noite por golpes de luzes mortais
Você amou a vida ou apenas a viu passar?
Das nossas noites de fumo não sobrou quase nada
A não ser tuas cinzas pela manhã
Nesse metrô repleto de vertigens da vida
Até a próxima estação, pequeno europeu
Coloque tua mão, desça-a abaixo do meu coração

Ofuscado pela noite por golpes de luzes mortais
Uma última volta estendendo a mão ao fim
Eu esperei 100 anos nas ruas em preto e branco
Você veio assobiando.
