Nossa Senhora do Pópulo, Coto e São Gregório is best known within Portugal for Caldas da Rainha’s thermal-spa heritage and distinctive ceramics. This civil parish combines the centre of Caldas da Rainha with the neighbouring communities of Coto and São Gregório in the Atlantic-facing Oeste region. Queen Leonor founded the thermal hospital here in 1485 after local springs became known for their mineral waters; the Hospital Termal Rainha Dona Leonor remains a defining landmark. Ceramic production associated with artist Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro is another enduring part of local identity. Parque D. Carlos I provides a central green space, while the Lagoa de Óbidos lies nearby to the west. Discover nearby webcam locations offering complementary perspectives on Caldas da Rainha and the Oeste.
