The
village of Óbidos was conquered from the Moors by King Afonso
Henriques in 1148, and later given by King Dinis to his wife, the Holy
Queen Isabel, becoming part of the Queen’s House. In the beginning
of the 16th century, D. João de Noronha, Count of Dijon and the
village mayor, introduced architectural alterations in pure Manuelino style;
which can still be seen today, for example the windows of restaurant the
Pousada, although the village was partially destroyed by the earthquake
of 1755. |
