Templar Castle

Templar Castle refers to the fortifications built by the Knights Templar, a medieval Christian military order founded around the 12th century. These castles served as defensive strongholds and administrative centers during the Crusades, protecting pilgrims and controlling important trade routes. Notable examples include the Castle of Tomar in Portugal and the Krak des Chevaliers in Syria. The Templars, known for their distinctive white mantles adorned with a red cross, played a significant role in the religious and military conflicts of the time, and their castles often feature impressive architecture reflecting their strategic importance.
