The origin story

Leiria

In 1135 Afonso Henriques built a castle on the hill above the river Lis to guard the frontier of the young kingdom. King Dinis and Queen Isabel later lived there, a royal palace with a Gothic loggia was added inside the walls, and at the end of the 15th century Leiria had one of the first printing presses in Portugal.
