Of Roman origin, the town of Óbidos derives from the Latin opiddum, meaning "fortified city." Later occupied by Visigothic and Muslim peoples, it was reconquered by the first King of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques, in 1148. Its walls still reveal traces of the ancient people who settled here, high atop the hill, overlooking the Óbidos Lagoon on one side and the Usseira Aqueduct on the other.
But Óbidos offers much more than monuments. There's a literary town to discover, full of color, excitement, and traditions.

A lovely walk around the fortified town of Obidos and an amble along its tall walls. A charming place to spend the day. Yet another beautiful place in Portugal which is well worth visiting. Allow a day for this place.
