Cascais is a coastal town, located 20 kilometers west of Lisbon.
This tiny museum is placed inside a small fortress, built in the mid 17th century as part of the maritime defense system of Cascais. About 200 years later, the fortress lost its strategic interest and a lighthouse was built there. The lighthouse is still functional nowadays but, having been automated, it doesn't need constant surveilance anymore and has been converted in the first museum dedicated to the lighthouses of the portuguese coast.
Aires Mateus design dates back to 2003, the construction began in 2006 and the museum was inaugurated last Summer. (5 years and 2421 days ago)

Dear author, this is a great photo, but in my humble opinion, if you crop a little bit in the left side the lightghouse could be more expressive to the thema!
While cropping, please straighten the horizon. On sea shots, this is most important.
Very lovely theme to the light house
nice tips above.
Howdie stranger!
