As before, Ye Tian was admiring the ancient medieval castle in front of him while explaining it to the others around him.

"Tomar Castle, also known as Knights Castle by locals, was built around 1160 AD by one of the founders of Tomar, the famous Templar Guardim Pais.

When this castle was first built, it was designed as a symbol of the Crusaders' conquests, symbolizing the conquest process of the Knights Templar, and also served as a military fortress for the Knights Templar against the Moors.

After the disbandment of the Knights Templar, its Portuguese branch transformed into the Society of Jesus, which continued to own the castle, became a nunnery, and strongly supported Portugal's geographical discovery in the fifteenth century.

Its original symbolic meaning has also changed, and then it has become a symbol of Portugal's opening to other civilizations in the world. In modern times, it has become one of the most important historical and cultural buildings in Portugal! ”

While the explanation was being given, Ye Tian and the others had already climbed up the stairs and walked towards the ancient castle gate.

At this time, they were like a group of tourists visiting Tomar Castle, where they seemed to be exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar.

In the square behind them, many employees and security personnel of the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company have taken action, taking boxes filled with exploration equipment from each vehicle, preparing to enter Tomar Castle!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had arrived in front of the castle gate.

After Ye Tian's explanation, everyone already has a certain understanding of the history of the medieval castle in front of them.

After standing at the gate of the castle, Ye Tian admired it for a while, then pointed to the gate of the castle and began to introduce the building itself.

“Unlike several other medieval castles we have explored before, those ancient castles built by the Knights Templar and stationed for a long time are mostly Gothic buildings, with some local architectural features mixed in.

The main building of Tomar Castle is in Byzantine style. The reason for this difference is that this castle was built earlier. When this castle was built, the Knights Templar were not long established.

At that time, the level of architecture in Western Europe was far lower than that of the Byzantine Empire in the East. Only the Templars who had been to the East could learn the architectural art and technology there. This Templar was the Guardim faction. Sri Lanka.

I have said before that Guardim Pais stayed in the Holy Land Jerusalem for five years and learned a lot of knowledge. He was one of the wisest Templars. During the war, he also saw a lot. Byzantine architecture.

After returning to Tomar, Portugal, he used all the knowledge he learned to preside over the construction of the Byzantine castle in front of us and Tomar at the foot of the mountain, leaving a precious architectural heritage for mankind.

Due to frequent wars, various local buildings in Byzantium have been completely destroyed, and only fragments of walls remain. This makes Tomar Castle particularly precious and has become one of the representatives of Byzantine architecture.

Introducing the whole thing, Ye Tian also introduced the sculptures on both sides of the castle gate, the murals carved on the walls, and other antique cultural relics.

Then, the group of them walked through the slightly gloomy doorway and walked into this ancient Byzantine castle.

The moment everyone entered the castle, everyone felt as if they had just crossed a long history of seven or eight hundred years and entered the Middle Ages from modern society!

Everything that appears in front of everyone is completely different from the outside world, and is full of the vicissitudes of history.

There is no feasting and entertainment here. Apart from a few simple lights and surveillance probes, there is almost nothing else related to modern civilization.

What everyone sees are mottled stone walls, ancient buildings as solid as watchtowers, deep corridors, solemn and even a bit eerie chapels, etc.

After entering the castle, everyone stopped in unison and began to visit and appreciate everything in front of them.

After a short pause, Ye Tian's voice came again and reached everyone's ears.

“The construction of Tomar Castle lasted for a total of five long centuries. Initially, there was only a chapel and ancillary buildings built by Guardim Pais inside the castle, and the rest of the buildings were built later.

In this ancient medieval castle, we can see Byzantine architecture, Gothic architecture, Manueline-era architecture, Renaissance-style architecture, etc., each of which is outstanding.

It is this long history and the superposition of various classic Western architectural arts that make Tomar Castle a national treasure of Portugal and irreplaceable. Its antiquity and richness are even more dizzying..."

While talking, everyone has entered a unique chapel.

This is a magnificent circular church called Shaluola.

From the outside, this chapel looks like a circular building, but inside it is actually a hexagonal shape, which looks almost circular, with a circular dome on top.

In the center of this chapel, there stands a double-layered octagonal prayer room with tall arches on each side, and the eight arches are connected to each other, giving it a very special shape.

Similar to the style of the main building of Tomar Castle, Salola Church is also a Byzantine-style building. Its interior decoration is also in the Byzantine art style, which is gorgeous and mysterious, which is fascinating.

The sculptures and paintings, as well as the religious murals on the surrounding walls, domes, and inside and outside the prayer room, give this place a strong religious atmosphere.

In addition, many mysterious symbols unique to the Knights Templar, as well as the Martian cross, are engraved on the granite floor of the church, on the surrounding walls, and inside and outside the prayer room.

Compared with those mysterious symbols discovered in a series of previous exploration operations, there seem to be more mysterious symbols here and more completely preserved, many of which have never been seen before!

After entering Salola Church, Ye Tian quickly took a quick look at the situation here, admired this ancient and exquisite building, and then began to explain.

“The church we are in now is called Salola. It is a Byzantine art-style building built by Guardim Pais himself. It is also the most important building in Tomar Castle.

When building the Salola Church, Guardim Pais referred to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the Holy City of Jerusalem, especially the octagonal prayer room in the center of the church. I believe it will look familiar to everyone."

Before he finished speaking, Jason next to him suddenly said:

"That's it. No wonder I feel a sense of déjà vu when I look at this gorgeous octagonal prayer room. It turns out that its design was inspired by the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the holy city of Jerusalem!"

Ye Tian nodded slightly and continued:

"Guardim Pais seemed to have a special purpose in designing this church with reference to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. According to legend, this church may have been used as a hint to remind the Knights Templar why they were fighting. .

Because the Knights Templar worshiped the Holy Grail, they built all the churches and chapels in their territory into a circle. This chapel is very close to a circle. Maybe there are some important secrets hidden here."

While saying these words, Ye Tian had secretly activated his clairvoyance ability and began to look into this ancient church to explore the secrets hidden here.

Everywhere he looked, everything on the ground and underground of the church was immediately clearly presented to his eyes, and nothing was missed.

In the blink of an eye, a flash of ecstasy suddenly flashed deep in Ye Tian's eyes, and it disappeared briefly.

Although he was extremely excited inside, the expression on his face was very calm, and he was still smiling, and no one could see any flaws!

The eyes of Bishop Kent and several other senior Vatican monks standing nearby suddenly lit up and shined brightly the moment Ye Tian mentioned the Holy Grail.

Is it possible that the Holy Grail is hidden here? If that were the case, that would be perfect!

Thinking of this, Bishop Kent and the others immediately turned to look at Ye Tian expectantly, trying to read something on his face!

However, Ye Tian had already stepped out and walked towards the octagonal prayer room in the center of the church, and said curiously:

"After exploring so many places before, this is the first time I have seen such exquisite Byzantine architecture. Tomar Castle is indeed a Portuguese national treasure, and Guardim Pais is definitely a master of architecture."

As he spoke, Ye Tian walked into the octagonal prayer room and looked up at the dome above.

His action just avoided the eyes of Bishop Kent and the others. Everything was very natural and did not reveal any trace!
