Calads da Rainha, Queen's spa is a must-visit.

Unlike Óbidos, Queen's village,
Calads da Rainha, Queen's Spa is not crowded with travelers.
It has not only a beautiful park but also a lot of artworks all over the city.
King Carlos I Park

Inside the park, there are Many Many things to see including a museum

Queen Leonor founded this city and built a hospital and a church to cure and help people even by selling her jewels.

There are other interest artworks to see in Calads da Rainha.
To be honest, I like this city better
as I am a big fan of Bordalo Pinheiro.
I even wrote about him before.

The city has a lot more to offer
if you are keen on Portuguese history.
Every visitor knows Manuel I after his or her trip to the Belem area.
Jerónimos Monastery is known for Manueline style of architecture.
downtown area:Church Nossa Senhora da Conceição Velha

Manuel I is known as Lucky King
because he wasn't supposed to be a king.
As the eighth child, he wasn't close to becoming a king.
Queen's statue is right in front of the King Carlos I Park.

His older sister, Queen Leonor,
who was married to King John II,
helped him to become a king.

The queen lost the crown prince due to an accident
and the king wanted his illegitimate son to take over.
However, the queen appealed to the Pope,
thereby Manuel I assuming the throne.

The queen used her money to help others.
As the water here had a healing power,
she built a hospital, which is now a museum
and right next to it, a beautiful church stands until now.

Thanks to Bordallo Pinheiro,
this city is also known as the capital of Portuguese pottery
according to the New York Times.

Here, you can shop as much as you want
because there is an outlet.
In Lisbon, his works are very expensive
even in ​Feira da Ladra, the flea market.



Next time, I will tell you all the locations of his work
and even suggest the best walking tour course of this beautiful city.
