Óbidos, Centro, Portugal: the rich red flowers of a climbing hibiscus contrast with deep purple blooms on another plant on the other side of a granite doorway surmounted by a panel of blue azulejos glazed ceramic tiles. The colourful scene in an ancient cobbled street in the heart of this fortified medieval town is further enhanced by the typically Portuguese bright yellow painted plinth at ground level. The name Óbidos derives from the Latin “oppidum”, meaning “walled city”. It was founded much earlier, during the Celtic period in Portugal, and it only became a Roman possession in the 1st century AD, when it was called Eburobrittium. The Romans were followed by the Visigoths and other Germanic tribes in the 5th century. The Moors took over in the 8th century before Portugal’s first king, Alphonso Henriques, conquered the town in 1149. Óbidos is known as the “wedding present town” because it was a gift King Dinis gave to Queen Isabel on their wedding day in 1282. Óbidos then became the property of Portuguese queens until the 1800s.
