Magic, Mystery and Myths
Although located 20 km from Tomar, Almourol Castle deserves the detour. It was built on a small island on the River Tagus, close to the town of Constância, and evokes mystery and romance. Also built by Gualdim Pais, this castle is wrapped in legends and myths. Some believe it is haunted by the ghost of a princess in love who longs for her Moorish slave. It is possible to get to the island by taking the ferry from Constância or Tancos.
