The medieval town of Óbidos is one of the most characteristic and well-preserved in Portugal.
Óbidos, situated on a high point near the Atlantic coast, held strategic importance within the region. Already occupied before the Romans arrived in the Iberian Peninsula, the town became more prosperous after being chosen by the royal family. Since King Dinis offered it to his wife, Queen Isabella, in the 13th century, it belonged to the House of Queens, who, over the course of various dynasties, continually benefited and enriched it. This is one of the main reasons why so many churches can be found in this small town.
