Photographer’s Note

Church of St. John The Baptist (Sao Joao Baptista) in the city of Tomar, the Republica Square. The main church of Tomar is located in the main square of the town, in front of the Municipality (XVII century) and a modern statue of Gualdim Pais. The church was built between the XV and XVI centuries and has many interesting artistic details, like the flamboyant Gothic portal, the Manueline tower with a XVI century clock, the decorated capitals of the inner columns of the nave and several panels painted in the 1530s by one of Portugal's best Renaissance artists, Gregório Lopes.
