Tips from the Community
Poorly maintained, some sections dangerous because of landslides due to the water and rain. If you like to bike in dense vegetation and get your face smacked, this is for you. If else, take the road nearby

The Castelo de Óbidos is a medieval castle and symbolically towers over the town of Óbidos. The fortification is likely of Roman origin, but the region was settled even earlier, in prehistoric times. Its eventful history over the decades can be found here: https://www.burgen.de/burgen-und-schloesser/portugal/castelo-de-obidos/ In the 20th century, the Castelo de Óbidos was found completely in ruins. Starting in 1932, the castle underwent the first consolidation, reconstruction, and restoration work. It was restored to accommodate state guests – the first Portuguese state accommodation in a historic building. Therefore, the interior of the castle is unfortunately no longer open to visitors.

Originally Gothic, this 13th-century church has undergone several changes over the centuries, particularly after earthquakes in 1531 and 1755. The portal dates from the 17th century, but almost everything else dates from the 18th century.
