葡萄牙的奧比都斯:國(guó)王傾城贈(zèng)美人

字號(hào):

Once the wedding present of a queen, the preserved medieval town of Obidos lying 100 km north of Lisbon is without doubt one of Portugal's most classic walled settlements.
    After Dom Afonso Henriques wrenched the village from the Moors, he offered Obidos as a wedding gift to his betrothed, his beloved Isabel. The village remained the personal property of the queens of Portugal until 1834. Today the town's ramparts, cobblestone streets, and 14th-century facades make Obidos the most romantic spot in Portugal.
    Walking the ramparts, visitors can enjoy views of windmills, vineyards and surrounding farmlands. In the residential area below, narrow cobblestone streets are lined with whitewashed houses sporting terracotta roofs.

    坐落在里斯本往北100公里的小城奧比都斯,是當(dāng)初葡萄牙國(guó)王送給王后的結(jié)婚禮物。這是座保存完好的中世紀(jì)古城,無疑,也是葡萄牙最古典的筑墻防衛(wèi)的殖民地。
    在唐-阿方索-亨利克從摩爾人手中奪回這個(gè)村莊,他大方把它地作為結(jié)婚禮物送給了他的妻子、他深愛的伊莎貝爾。直到1834年,它一直都是葡萄牙王后的私人財(cái)產(chǎn)。如今,它的城墻、鵝卵石小路以及14世紀(jì)的古樸風(fēng)貌都使奧比都斯成為葡萄牙最浪漫的場(chǎng)所。
    沿著城墻漫步,游覽者會(huì)飽覽旋轉(zhuǎn)的風(fēng)車、葡萄園種植、以及附近的農(nóng)田等多處風(fēng)光。城墻下的住宅區(qū),窄小的鵝卵石鋪成的街道兩旁是石灰粉刷、陶瓦蓋頂?shù)姆课荨?BR>
