Gafanha da Nazare
At the top of the cliff of the Nazaré promontory, the first construction was the hermitage erected on the initiative of D. Fuas Roupinho in 1182, over a cave where, after the Muslim invasion of the Iberian peninsula, the image of Our Lady of Nazaré was hidden. . This initiative is linked to the Legend of Nazaré episode.[1] Centuries later, in 1377, King Fernando I of Portugal founded a sanctuary here, to which the image was transferred. Around this sanctuary, and to welcome the pilgrims who sought it, the first inhabitants settled, building the first houses.

Obidos Village
It was taken from the Moors in 1148, and received the first charter in 1195, under the reign of D. Sancho I. Óbidos was part of the dowry of numerous queens of Portugal, namely D. Urraca of Castile (wife of D. Afonso II), Queen Santa Isabel (wife of D. Dinis), d. Filipa de Lencastre (wife of D. João I), D. Leonor de Aragão (wife of D. Duarte), D. Leonor de Avis (wife of D. João II), among others. In 1527, 161 inhabitants lived in the village, which would correspond to around 1/10 of the municipality's population. It was from Óbidos that the municipality of Caldas da Rainha was born, previously called Caldas de Óbidos (the change in the determinant was due to the seasons that Queen D. Leonor spent there). On February 16, 2007, Óbidos Castle received the candidate certificate as one of the seven wonders of Portugal.
