The story goes that, one day, on her way to Batalha, Queen D. Leonor, afflicted for a long time by a wound that did not heal, stopped here and confirmed the laudable wonders of these thermal waters, ordering the construction, the following year, of a Hospital . It was the 15th century, and this is how Caldas da Rainha's fame and the reason for its name are presented, with enchanting touches of history.
The importance of thermal activities in Caldas finds its reference point in the Thermal Complex, which includes the old Thermal Hospital and the Hospital and Caldas Museum. In these spaces, the history of what is the oldest thermal hospital in the world and the famous Book of Commitment of Queen D. Leonor are shown.
Talking about Caldas is talking about Bordalo Bordalo Pinheiro, who left a lasting influence here. The Fábrica de Faianças das Caldas da Rainha was created by him in 1884, with the help of Ramalho Ortigão, and became a world reference and its objects an icon of Portuguese culture, present in thousands of homes. At the Casa Museu de São Rafael, you can visit an exhibition made up of pieces created in the factory next door and get an idea of ??the brand's evolution. And in the nearby store, you can purchase colorful crockery and ceramics.
In the heart of the city, we find Praça da República, also known as Praça da Fruta. With beginnings dating back to the 15th century, this colorful open-air market is the only one that takes place daily in the country. It is a showcase for the region's rich agricultural and gastronomic production and a privileged place to observe Art Nouveau in Caldas. Romantic tiled facades surround this vibrant square, which also houses the historic Café Central and the São Sebastião Chapel. Those interested in Art Nouveau can go from the square to Rua Dr. Miguel Bombarda, to be able to appreciate more examples of this movement by taking the Art Nouveau Route.
