EN01 The body of the only great Templar master found so far appears

It was called Arnau de Torroja and was one of the 23 great masters of the Templars, the well-known order of armed religious who protected pilgrims who ventured to travel to the Holy Land and who, still today, is still enveloped in unknowns. Eight centuries after his death, this almost legendary knight can become the first of the great masters whose body reaches to this day.

As if it were a film of historical adventures, its supposed tomb appeared by surprise behind a wall while restoration work was being done in the church of San Fermo de Maggiori in Verona. A stone sarcophagus with a sculpted Temple cross alerted the operatives. Inside, there were the remains of an elderly man covered with a silk shroud. Without a doubt, he was a relevant character of the time.
