Episode 7: Convento de Cristo, Tomar

April 21, 2014 • 25 min

The main cloister of the Convent of Christ is referenced in the history of universal art as one of the most beautiful examples of European Renaissance architecture. But this cloister is more than a treasure of Renaissance art, it is the construction that buries the Middle Ages in Portugal once and for all and aligns it with the new European humanism.
