Care was born from the waters.
A city was born out of caring.
Caldas da Rainha
The origin of a unique city
In the heart of Portugal, there was a special place: thermal waters that already attracted those looking for a cure.
In 1484, King Leonor crossed these parts. Where many saw only a spring, she saw a project.
There began the story of a city built on care, solidarity and a vision of the future.

Queen Leonor
- A Legacy of
Care and vision
D. Leonor was more than a court presence: she was a woman of action, culture and vision.
He founded the first thermal hospital in the world, open to everyone, especially the poorest. In Caldas, he left a principle: to care for people and transform the territory.
Where others saw only a spring, she saw a project. And she turned it into a future.
“More than a Queen, it was the spirit that gave life to the city.”
