Afonso de Henriques. Latter, it was a wedding gift from D. Dinis to his wife Queen Sta Isabel, a royal tradition that was maintained until 1834 justifying the designation of “House of Queens” attributed to Óbidos and whose origins are lost in time.50 minutes away from Lisbon and with excellent access, Óbidos is located in the centre of the country, by the coast and surrounded by its great walls and proud castle.
