The Castelo de Óbidos is a medieval castle and symbolically towers over the town of Óbidos. The fortification is likely of Roman origin, but the region was settled even earlier, in prehistoric times. Its eventful history over the decades can be found here: https://www.burgen.de/burgen-und-schloesser/portugal/castelo-de-obidos/ In the 20th century, the Castelo de Óbidos was found completely in ruins. Starting in 1932, the castle underwent the first consolidation, reconstruction, and restoration work. It was restored to accommodate state guests – the first Portuguese state accommodation in a historic building. Therefore, the interior of the castle is unfortunately no longer open to visitors.

The Aqueduto da Usseira, also known as the Aqueduct of Óbidos, was built during the Age of Discovery in Portugal on the orders of Queen Catherine. It was built between 1571 and 1575 to alleviate the water shortage in the walled city of Óbidos. The aqueduct played a crucial role in supplying the city with clean water from the springs in Usseira, about three kilometers away. The structure reaches a height of up to 20 meters in places, dwarfing the nearby observer. Impressive no matter the perspective.

The Porta da Vila is the city's main gate. It consists of two low, staggered gates to prevent a direct cavalry charge, as was often the case with Gothic Portuguese castles. Between the gates is a small balcony that served as a prayer room, with beautiful blue and white tiles (azulejos) from 1740 depicting the Passion of Christ. Street performers often play there because of the acoustics.

Very large and seems endless A large square and lots of parking spaces
