A picture of the castle and the walled city of Obidos, Portugal.  One of the reasons I chose this quiet country to retire in is the city of Obidos.  The municipality began as a Roman settlement but today the most notable event is a 2-week Renaissance Festival every July with the castle, hundreds of local people and the entire walled city taking part. 


I've been to Renaissance Festivals in Houston, Texas and Anchorage, Alaska but this festival blows them away.
