Obidos City Wall
Óbidos is located on a hilltop, encircled by a fortified wall and remains a well-preserved example of medieval architecture including its streets, squares, walls and its castle.
Archeological sites include the remains of a forum, baths and other Roman structures. After the fall of Rome, Visigoths and then Moors controlled the area. Much of the Arab and medieval architecture which had survived centuries was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755.
