'''Tomar''' or '''Thomar''' is a city in central [[Portugal]] and has a population of 40,677 (2011).
== Convent of Christ in Tomar ==
Originally designed as a monument symbolizing the [[Reconquest]], the [[Convent]] of the [[Knights Templar]] of Tomar (transferred in 1344 to the Knights of the Order of Christ) came to symbolize just the opposite during the Manueline period – the opening up of Portugal to other [[civilization]]s.<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/265</ref>
