Pombal is located between Lisbon and Oporto, at 150km from each of these two Portuguese cities. This charming town is easy to access; it is a good base from where to discover the region and its touristic resorts such as Coimbra (40km), Leira (27km) and Fatima (50km). Pombal is located in the Leiria Province close to Portugal’s West coast, in the Valley of Rio Soura. The Marques de Pombal died in this city while on exile in 1752. A monument dedicated to the Marques stands in the main square. The city also features the interesting churches of Martinho founded in 1323 and rebuilt in 1520 and Santa Maria do Castelo as well as a castle rebuilt during the 16th century.
