Tomar

            Crê-se que a Igreja de São João Baptista tenho sido construída por ordem de D. Gualdim Pais, enquanto se edificava o Castelo e nascia a cidade. É cerca de 1430, que se inicia a reconstrução da Igreja e em 1467, que se iniciam as obras que irão dar origem à Igreja como hoje a conhecemos. Destaca-se a torre de três corpos, os portais de estilo manuelino; e no interior os painéis pintados por Gregório Lopes (cerca de 1530).
Os alto-relevos que se encontram na base da torre sineira e que muito provavelmente datam da igreja original, representam duas figuras mitológicas: um grifo e uma quimera. O grifo, na mitologia grega, era considerado um guardião de tesouros a quimera era considerada uma criatura feroz e perigosa.

It is believed that the Church of São João Baptista was built by order of D. Gualdim Pais, while the Castle was being built and the city was born. It is around 1430 that the reconstruction of the Church begins and in 1467 the works that will give rise to the Church as we know it today begin. The three-body tower stands out, the Manueline-style portals; and inside, the panels painted by Gregório Lopes (circa 1530).
The high reliefs at the base of the bell tower, which most likely date from the original church, represent two mythological figures: a griffin and a chimera. The griffin, in Greek mythology, was considered a guardian of treasures the chimera was considered a fierce and dangerous creature.
