Cascais Citadel (Fortress of Our Lady of Light)

Highlight • Castle

The Cidadela de Cascais is a 15th-century fortress that guarded the western end of the Tejo estuary and the small fishing port of Cascais. Today, the fortress dominates the exclusive marina of Cascais and the complex has been converted into an exclusive hotel. A short detour is definitely worth it.

Sundial

Highlight • Monument

Now you have no excuse for not knowing the time when you go to the beach... Between Praia da Poça and Tamariz you can check the sundial, an artistic project by Maurizio Russo. This latest intervention is the result of a partnership between Cascais Ambiente and Cercica.
