Situated in the Central region of Portugal, Leiria is a city that combines history, culture and enchanting landscapes. Leiria Castle, built in the 12th century and <\/span>ex-libris<\/em> in the city, offers a breathtaking view over the historic centre. This castle has been the setting for significant historical events, particularly during the reign of King Dinis, who resided there on several occasions and contributed to the region\u2019s development.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The historic city centre, characterised by its narrow, winding streets, culminates in Leiria Cathedral, built in the Mannerist style in the 16th century. Further up, on the way to the castle, you will find the Bell Tower and the Church of S\u00e3o Pedro, built in the Romanesque style and the oldest in Leiria.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are several museums in the city, notably the Leiria Museum, housed in the former Convent of St Augustine, the Museum of the Moving Image and the Paper Mill Museum, dedicated to the paper industry.<\/span><\/p>\n
