In the Santa Maria square, where the church is located, there’s also a stunning Manueline pillory from the 15th century, made of stone and adorned with relief designs of fishing nets.
- Castelo de Obidos - Obidos hosts several annual events, including Holy Week celebrations that recreate the steps of the Via Sacra, a medieval market that transports Obidos back to the Middle Ages, and the International Chocolate Festival for those with a sweet tooth.
The fantastic Obidos Christmas Village event delights people of all ages.
- Centro Historico de Sintra - Sintra may be a small village, but it boasts a high concentration of historical monuments and fascinating tourist attractions. There are over 10 national monuments in Sintra, including opulent palaces, ancient ruins, and decorative palatial houses scattered across the hills, offering challenging walking paths.
Exploring its historical center, especially Piriquita, is a must. Piriquita is one of Sintra’s attractions, known for its typical sweets that are especially delightful on the cooler days characteristic of Sintra’s microclimate.
- Park and National Palace of Pena - As mentioned earlier, Sintra is rich in palaces. The choice of which palace(s) to visit is entirely yours. The guide will provide information about all of them, and together you can decide which one(s) suit you best.
