"Óbidos is a town (vila) of around 3,100 inhabitants and the seat of the municipality of the same name, located in the subregion Oeste and district of Leiria, in Portugal. The municipality has an area of 142 km² and a population of 11 000 inhabitants.The town of Óbidos is located on a hill and is still encircled by a fortified wall. The well-preserved mediaeval look of its streets, squares, walls and its massive castle have turned the picturesque village into a preferred tourist attraction in Portugal.
In 1210, King Afonso II donated the village to his wife, Queen Urraca. Since then Óbidos has often belonged to the Queens of Portugal, giving rise to its informal title as Vila das Rainhas (Queens' village). Several Queens enriched the village with donations from the Middle Ages until the 16th century."
