The Raynha das Águas Route tells stories of the History of the oldest Thermal Hospital in the world, founded by Queen Dona Leonor at the end of the 15th century.

The Nossa Senhora do Pópulo Thermal Hospital, in Caldas da Rainha, has unique characteristics that are well worth visiting.

There will be several reasons that led Dona Leonor to make an unexpected decision, totally innovative and extremely audacious, to have a Thermal Hospital built for everyone.

Then apears a Hospital complex based on a curious tripod:
The Thermal Hospital for the healing of the body;
The Church of Nossa Senhora do Pópulo for the healing of the Spirit;
The Real Forest for the contemplation of Beauty.

The Raynha das Águas Route walks in these spaces revealing its secrets, dedicating time for a sensory experience in front of a painting by Josefa d’Óbidos, introducing the visitor to the mysteries of the Portuguese Baroque.

We finish tasting 16th century flavors inspired by the recipes of the oldest Thermal Hospital in the world.
