Situated on a small craggy island in the middle reaches of the River Tagus, Almourol Castle is one of the most emblematic and scenographic medieval military monuments of the Reconquista and, at the same time, one of the most evocative of the memory of the Knights Templar in Portugal.
In the 20th century, the complex was converted into the Official Residence of the Portuguese Republic, where some important Estado Novo events took place. The reinventive process, which had begun a century earlier, was definitively consummated by this intervention in the 1940s and 1950s, thus fulfilling the fascination that Almourol’s scenography caused during Portugal’s long cultural and political Romanticism.
