Simon, go to bed, it's almost 3 am
thanks bjcvieira
by the way it is also good to check other treasure legends in Portugal..for example there was once a legend in Portugal that the retreating moors buried their gold as they retreated...but I couldnt find any real document to check for a possible locality though I saw one old newspaper clip about one morrish treaure being found in the mountains ..any ideas on such legends and possible sources?
TT
The Portuguese treasures that i know are the Templars, Romans and many shipwrecked reports too.

Nops never heard of that treasure, i know the place but never see any article or "legend" about gold in there, the link i posted was a treasure of 4000 romans coins that someone discover while doing some construction work.
If i found something interesting about it i will post.
thank you.

Perhaps not a Templar treasure but treasure none the less, you prefer to check out the castle of Alcazaba?

That could be one explanation of the name,,,but the origin of the name is still debated,,,however the country especially the central part like tomar show their heavy presence,,and the emblems of the ships in the age of discovery were all templar related..,,no doubt they thrived there for long time,,,but did they hide their treasure there? That is the question,,Meanwhile i will like to share you all the origin of the name Portugal.
The name can be divided in 2 words Portu + Gal , this 2 words have in reality the mean of "Porto Graal" in english this means "grail port" or "grail harbor", this isn't just a accidental coincidence it was deliberated, Portugal was in reality a Templar Secret Project and the epicentre of the Templar Order, there is no other place on earth with so many Templar Lands, movies and documentaries have the tendency to show France as the most important place for Templars, this is is not true.

The are many theories about where the Templars of "La Rochelle" took the treasure ( some do not even have in their history any evidence of the presence of the temple order like oak island) . But the truth is only one, the treasure was brought to Portugal , this was the port where the ships docked , it's called "Salir do Porto" still exists and still can feel a certain mysticism in place.

There is no evidence the Templar artifacts or treasure ended up in Portugal. Gerard de Villers was supposed to be the new Grandmaster of the Order, and he was never seen or mentioned in Portugal. Certainly many of the French Templars escaping arrest went to Portugal but IMHO the treasure and artifacts went to Nova Scotia (Acadia), by way of Scotland.
Btw, I never put much store in the Sinclair thing.
Cheers, Loki
There was no important presence of the order in scotland and there is absolutly no historical or archeological proof of templar presence in nova scotia in 1307 or in the next hundreds years after, nova scotia templar presence is in my point of view a complete hoax and i really don't understand how people believe in it, the first person that has some historial confirmation that could be in nova scotia is "Miguel Corte Real" (not Templar but order of christ) search for "Dighton Rock".
There is documentation of over 100 Templar Houses in Scotland. Scotland had no ties with the Church when the Pope issued the arrest order for all Templars in Europe in November of 1314. There is also evidence of a secret inner circle of the Order of which the Master of France was the leader, Gerard de Villiers. IMHO, if you find where Villiers went you find the special artifacts the Temple held.
A book telling you the artifacts are in Portugal is not proof, there were more books written on the Templar Order than any other Catholic Order, many of them contradictory to each other. There are many clues to their hiding place, only one of them is the Anson's monument at Shugborough with its very easy to decode coordinates which leads one to Nova Scotia.
There is evidence of an immediate change in the quality of stone carving in the early 14th century in the Scottish Western Highlands (of course not all Templars went across the ocean). There were only two Templars ever arrested in Scotland and those by English authorities in an English controlled area of Scotland. The Templars could have followed a simple map drawn by local Norse of the Western Highlands to follow the same route just used by the Viking replica ship, Dragon Hararld Fairhair to Vinland.
Yes, we know many escaped Templars went to Portugal, but remember Portugal was still under Catholic rule, not a safe haven for something that had to be kept out of Church hands.

Hello,
I respect your opinion, but I will have to say to you that is completely wrong, when I speak of books and manuscripts, I speak of historical research that proofs by elements and old reports what happened, I understand that the people of Nova Scotia and Scotland want to believe that their home played an important role for the order and that there is a "treasure" near by but unfortunately this is not true, the order of the temple ended in 1307, and as you know it was an international order with commendations in different countries, the only country that the order remained virtually untouch was Portugal and this is not a theory it's a FACT
