The Castle of Óbidos is a well-preserved medieval castle located in the civil parish of Santa Maria, São Pedro e Sobral da Lagoa, in the municipality of Óbidos, Portuguese district of Leiria.HistoryÓbidos had its foundation in the existence of a fortified settlement, likely over the Luso-Roman castro and Roman oppidum (then civitas) on the hilltop, that was the mysterious Eburobrittium, once cited by Pliny the Elder as being situated between Collipo (near present-day Leiria) and Olisipo (Lisbon). Archeological surveys later resulted in the discovery of a forum, baths and other Roman structures near the settlement. The area was later settled by the Lusitanos (since the 4th century BC) and Romans in the first century, but later occupied by Visigoths during the 5th and 6th century and Muslims, who were responsible for fortifying the town in the 8th century.Make Castelo de Óbidos part of your personalized Obidos itinerary using our Obidos trip itinerary planner.

This place is incredible. I want to live here lol.. so beautiful! Our room was well appointed with modern upgrades yet it still felt like we were staying in a castle.. it was way cool waking up in a castle.. loved going up to the very top to enjoy the 360 degree view. The hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating.. we will definitely come again soon!

Very cool castle and village inside the walls of this pre-Medieval fortress. An place to easily spend a day exploring, but if you are able to stay overnight in the real castle, do so! Nice restaurants in the city, lots of tourist shopping. Enjoy a day!
