    For many centuries, the Portuguese coast was known to foreign ships, especially English ones, as the “black coast”, as there was no lighting system to aid navigation. At the end of the 18th century, the Marquis of Pombal ordered the construction of a network of lighthouses to make it safer, including the one at Cabo Espichel, one of the oldest in Portugal, built in 1790.
