Immersive Tour through the Village of Óbidos, Portugal | Historical Tourism
Welcome to the "Olhar de Turista" channel! In this video, I invite you on an immersive tour of the picturesque village of Óbidos, in Portugal. Located in the historic region of Estremadura, Óbidos is a true medieval treasure, surrounded by impressive walls and dominated by a magnificent castle that has been declared one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal.
Explore the cobblestone streets, lined with whitewashed houses and decorated with colorful flowers, as you absorb the rich history of this town that dates back to Roman times and was once the dowry of several queens of Portugal.
In minute 2 we see the facade of the Church of Santa Maria, an architectural jewel with a history that dates back to the period between 1148 and 1185. Considered the main church in the village, its foundation is attributed to D. Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal , after the conquest of the town from the Moors. Originally, it is believed to have been a mosque during Muslim rule.
The church went through several phases of construction and renovation over the centuries, reflecting a rich mix of architectural styles, such as Manueline, Renaissance, Mannerist and Baroque. Its longitudinal structure is made up of three naves, the central one being the highest, with a wooden ceiling decorated with 17th century paintings. The main façade stands out for its Renaissance portal in a triumphal arch and for the prismatic bell tower covered by a pyramidal dome.
Classified as a Property of Public Interest since 1933, the Church of Santa Maria is not only an important religious monument, but also a living testimony to the history and art of Portugal.
Immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of this enchanting village and experience an experience that transports you directly to the heart of Portugal.
