Obidos
Given as a present in 1282 to the wife of King Dinis, Isabel of Aragon.
Rebuilt after taken from the Moors in 1148.

We arrived in Obidos at the end of a long day, and were met by evening and night light.
Obidos is a wondeful little tourist city located within the walls of this ancient castle.
Many travel here to stay in the local inns and shop and enjoy the quality of this
quaint little town (though like I said, it is touristy).

Located 75 km's north of Lisboa
 

The main castle is
always well lit in the
evenings
