Igreja de São Pedro (Church of Saint Peter), Obidos

The Church of Saint Peter, initially Gothic in design, traces its origins to the 13th century, although the structure underwent numerous transformations across the centuries, particularly following the seismic events of 1531 and 1755.

The entrance, constructed in the 1600s, stands in contrast to the predominantly 18th-century architecture that characterizes the church. Within its hallowed walls, the esteemed local artist Josefa De Óbidos finds her eternal repose. Still, it remains uncertain if she was the creator of the remarkable 17th-century artwork on the church's right side, depicting St. Peter receiving the keys to Heaven from Christ. The opulent gilded retable, a marvel of Portuguese Baroque craftsmanship, crafted between 1690 and 1705, adorns the space with its splendor.

The church hosts side altars dedicated to Our Lady of Piety from the 15th century, Our Lady of the Rosary from the 18th century, and Our Lady of Fátima dating back to the 1940s. Adjacent to this sacred space stands the intriguing Gothic Chapel of St. Martin.
