Once the wedding present of a queen, the preserved medieval town of Obidos 100 km north of Lisbon is without doubt one of Portugal's most classic walled settlements. Obidos is a magic place, full of history, culture and patrimony. Walking the ramparts, visitors can enjoy views of windmills, vineyards and surrounding farmlands. Conquered from the Moors in 1148, the town of Obidos was traditionally given as a wedding gift by the King of Portugal to the new Queen. Resembling an open-air museum, this walled medieval town has been preserved to look like a picture-postcard, with its monuments, narrow winding streets and white-washed houses with windows and terraces full of flowers.
