Local Attractions
The Medieval Town of Óbidos This town has always been inhabited due to its excellent location near the sea and the lagoon. Here a Celtiberian old castle facing west was built and it is where the Phoenicians traded and the Romans settled. It is likely that the Facho south tower might have been a Roman watchtower as an advanced viewing post of the city of Eburobrittium. On 11th of January 1148 the first king D. Afonso Henriques conquered Óbidos from the Arabs. Óbidos belonged to the defensive pentagon (of the five castles) in the centre of the kingdom which was idealized by the Templars. Most of the Portuguese queens went through Óbidos.The Medieval Town of Óbidos This town has always been inhabited due to its excellent location near the sea and the lagoon.

The hotel's history dates back to the 60's when Nazaré Piedade Figueiredo founded it with the name “Pensão Nazaré”. After it was enlarged by her son Artur Filipe Figueiredo Domingues and his wife Maria Alice Mondim Domingues and in the 80's it changed its name to “Residencial Penedo Furado” and, later on, “Hotel Penedo Furado”.
