Historic Óbidos
The history of Óbidos dates back to the Roman period, but its current medieval charm was solidified under Moorish rule and later by the Portuguese kings. Traditionally known as the "Town of Queens," it was often gifted to the Queens of Portugal as a wedding present, a tradition that began with Queen Isabel in the 13th century.
Today, within its well-preserved walls, you'll find a vibrant community celebrating literature, chocolate, and medieval history through its famous annual festivals. Walking through Óbidos is like stepping back in time, with every corner revealing a piece of Portugal's rich heritage.
