Portugal - Castelo de Óbidos

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Contributor rexfarucao created this stunning drone video of the Portuguese "castle town" of Óbidos.  The town is situated on a hilltop in Leira, one of the provinces which makes up the country's Centro region.  The town's main landmark is its namesake medieval castle, which was built on the site of an old Roman fortification.  Due to its strategic location, the town played a role in the various struggles by which the modern nation-state of Portugal emerged in the 15th century; it was later damaged in the great 1755 Lisbon Earthquake.
