The Ermida de Nossa Senhora da Conceição Hermit sits next to the Castle of the Knights Templar in Tomar, outside the walls.

This chapel is the opera-prime of Portuguese Renaissance style, with capitals delicately sculpted. It is also one of the last buildings built by architect João de Castilho. In fact, Castilho died in 1553, the same year the building of this chapel began. It had to be Diogo de Torralva who was hired to complete the building, which ended in 1573. Supposedly, the hermit was built as a mausoleum for King D. João III, who died in 1557 and was buried in the Monastery of the Jerónimos.

Nowadays, and from 1910, it is listed as National Monument.

It is advised to visit this hermit after having seen both the Castle and Convent, since the hermit lies halfway between the castle and the city.
