| Summary: | This article makes an approach to the influence of Saint Bernard, a fervourous defender of the Templar Order, within the context of the military architecture used by these knights in the twelfth, thirteenth and beginning of fourteenth centuries. It was written within the scope of the research for a master’s degree dissertation entitled “Castelos da Ordem do Templo em Portugal, 1120-1314” of which it is part. The writings of the Cistercian scholar enable us to raise new, pertinent questions, paying special attention to the analogy between the realities of the monastery and the castle, and to the symbolism inherent to the necessity of defending Jerusalem and particularly the Temple Mount. The analysis of Saint Bernard’s work opens new horizons that largely surpass the monastic sphere of action, casting new light on the understanding of military and religious art erected by the Templars in the Latin Orient and in Portugal. |
