Pombal is a historic municipality in central Portugal, located in the district of Leiria. The town's history is closely tied to its imposing medieval castle, the Castle of Pombal, which sits atop a hill overlooking the town.
Built in the 12th century by the Knights Templar, this fortress played a significant role in Portugal's medieval defense system. The town derives its name from the word 'pombar,' meaning dovecote, and was an important administrative center during the era of the Marquis of Pombal, an influential 18th-century Portuguese statesman.
Today, Pombal combines its rich historical heritage with modern development, featuring several cultural institutions and maintaining traditional Portuguese customs. The town is known for its local crafts, particularly pottery and woodworking, and serves as a cultural hub in the region.
