From the Templars to the most sensational love story of all time

What became of the Templars? Why is Friday the 13th considered unlucky? What is the most sensational love story of all time?

You will find the answers in this book on three top landmarks of Portugal.

(This is the black and white edition Look also for the colour edition and for the other books in the series.)

Portugal is perhaps the most exotic country in Europe. A country of great history, natural beauty, legends, and unique monuments. The three monasteries presented here (the convent of Christ in Tomar, the monastery of Alcobaca, and the monastery of Batalha), top monuments of Portugal, are representative of all these features that make Portugal a country you must not omit to visit on no account.

Visiting these monuments, you will discover what became of the Templars and why Friday the 13th is considered unlucky, learn the most sensational love story of all time and see what is considered for many as the greatest architectural monument in Portugal.
