The 900-year-old Temple Church was built just sixty years after the Crusaders first captured Jerusalem, and still contains the stone effigies of eight medieval knights.

Your guide will delve into the history of the Knights, shedding some light on how they came to power in the Holy Land, and giving you a glimpse into the symbolism that features so heavily throughout Dan Brown's novel.
