Information about Sintra and Obidos
During the 19th century, Sintra became the centre of European Romantic architecture. The king, Ferdinand II, renovated a ruined monastery into a castle where this new structure was displayed in Gothic, Egyptian, Moorish and Renaissance designs as well as the creation of a beautiful park with local and exotic species of trees.
During Roman times, the area was the most western point of the Roman Empire. The modern-day town of Obidos called Beleza Moreira. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the Moors took control over most of the Iberian Peninsula and ruled the town of Obidos until 1148. During that year, Afonso Henriques reclaimed Óbidos for Portugal.
Under Portuguese rule and its location besides the Atlantic Ocean, Obidos greatly grew into a major port. sadly, in the 16th century, a large deposit of silt in the river delta, created a dam in the harbour area and completely destroyed the port. Luckily, the city still remained a popular place amongst the royal family of Portugal, and all the Portuguese queens from Dona Isabel, right up to the 1800s, was given Obidos as a wedding present. Although the monarchs no longer rule in Portugal, Obidos continues to remain a popular destination, especially during the summer, when tourists pack the streets exploring the towns medieval charm.
