The Cascais Tower was built in 1488 during the reign of John II and together with its sister towers, the Tower of Belem and the Tower of Caparica, followed a new model of architecture that indicated the transition between the medieval castle and a fort strengthened with buttresses.
The triangular fortress, with its buttresses, substantially improved the defense of both the town and the Tagus river.
