Rainha Dona Leonor Statue
Caldas da Rainha, Portugal
Caldas da Rainha was founded by Queen Leonor, wife of King João II. One day in 1484, while traveling from Óbidos to Batalha, she found a group of peasants bathing in foul-smelling waters by the roadside. She stopped to inquire about this oddity and was told that the waters possessed curative powers.
She decided to try them for herself. She was pleased to find that she was quickly relieved of some affliction she had been suffering (exactly what is not known). On that site, the queen ordered a thermal hospital built so that others may enjoy the relief that she felt.

The name of the settlement that grew up around the site (Caldas da Rainha - Spa of the Queen), refers to both its founder and the reason for its existence.
