Summary
A comprehensive analysis of the Convent of Christ in Tomar reveals the significant role of its surrounding landscape in shaping its historical identity and architectural character. The study defines a landscape unit by examining the spatial and visual relationships between the monument and its immediate and distant surroundings, tracing transformations from its early occupation to the present day. This approach provides a nuanced understanding of the physical and visual continuities that connect the interiors of the convent with its broader landscape context, offering valuable insights for urban regeneration strategies.
