Portugal: Óbidos: Santa Maria Church

Óbidos is a photographer's fantasy land. I can compare it to Quedlinburg in Germany insofar as every few metres or every corner presents another "Kodak Moment". Here the steeple of the Santa Maria Church, Óbidos.

Historical note: The Church of Santa Maria in Óbidos was the setting for the wedding of King Afonso V to his cousin, Princess Isabella of Coimbra, on 15 August 1441, when they were both still children aged 9 and 10, respectively.
