Obidos Village

The village of Óbidos was probably founded by the Celts in 308 BC. Recent studies have led experts to believe that Óbidos was part of the anciente Roman city of Eburobrittium. The village was later occupied by the barbarians and then by the Moors. The first King of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, conquered this village from the Moors. In the 18th century, Óbidos still held its noble status as a place for the royal summer holidays. King John V stayed in Óbidos for eight years on the advice of his doctors to go bathing in Caldas da Rainha to treat his arthritis and obesity.
