| Others |
 |
| The church, rotunda at far end |
 |
| Closer-up of the "other" door; note everyone is reading |
 |
| Now in one of the dormitory areas |
 |
| Another cloister hall |
 |
| The very famous Manueline window; very late Gothic |
 |
| Closer-up...much Portuguese imagery...cork tree, maravelle, seafaring imagery, etc.; did I mention that Henry the Navigator was Grand Master of the order and that it achieved perhaps its greatest victories under him? |
 |
| Gothic bit |
 |
| One of not many funny faces |
 |
| One of the most interesting items--several large pieces of obviously Roman floor mosaic on (undesignated) display in one of the rooms |
 |
| Now in one of the several gift shoppes; mostly warfare |
 |
| And a nice selection of Portuguese wines |
 |
| Including Templar wines! |
