City: Óbidos, Portugal
The Name of Óbidos
From the Latin term “Oppidum”, the name of the main settlement in any Ancient Roman administrative area.
Inhabitants
It has a small population of about 2.200 inhabitants, but nearly 11.800 if we count the whole municipality
Castle
Óbidos is known for its wonderful castle & walled city that immerse you in a medieval environment, making you feel you are in the 1600s.
History
Its history is a very rich one as well. The place was inhabited by the Lusitanians until the Romans arrived. There, they built what would one day become the Castle, but just as an outpost for the Roman Legions.
