Brief history of Óbidos: Roman foundation and occupation: Óbidos originated as a small Roman settlement, due to its strategic location close to important commercial routes. Vila das Rainhas (since the 13th century): In 1282, D. Dinis offered Óbidos as a wedding gift to his wife, Queen Santa Isabel. This gesture began a tradition in which the town was often donated to Portuguese queens, becoming known as the "Vila das Rainhas" It has become an important tourist destination, known for the International Chocolate Festival, the Medieval Fair and ginjinha (cherry liqueur).
