During the Second World War, it was reputed to be
a gathering point for spies,
dispossessed royals, and wartime adventurers; it
became an inspiration for Ian
Fleming's James Bond 007 novel Casino

The Church of Saint Antonie, Estoril

The church of Saint
Anthony, or mother church of Estoril, was built in 1527
in a place where there was a hermitage dedicated to
Saint Roque. This church went through several
calamities, including the earthquake in 1755 and a big
fire in 1927 but it was immediately recovered in both
times. A special note to the baroque fronton and,
inside, the tile panels with motives of the life and
miracles of Saint Anthony.

Cascais

Cascais (European Portuguese
pronunciation: [kɐʃˈkajʃ] ) is a town and
municipality in the Lisbon
District of Portugal, located on
the Estoril Coast.
The municipality has a total of 214,158 inhabitants in
an area of 97.40 km2.
Cascais is an important tourist destination.
Its marina hosts events such as
the America's Cup and the town
of Estoril, part of the Cascais municipality,
hosts conferences such as the Horasis Global
Meeting.
Since the 1870s, Cascais has been a popular seaside
resort after King Luís I
of Portugal and the Portuguese royal
family made the seaside town their
residence every September, thus also attracting members
of the Portuguese
nobility, who established a summer community there.
Cascais is known for
the many members of royalty who have lived there,
including
King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom, when he was
the Duke of Windsor, King Juan Carlos I of Spain,
and King Umberto II of Italy. Former Cuban
president Fulgencio Batista was also once a
resident of the municipality.
The Casino Estoril inspired Ian Fleming's
first James Bond novel,
Casino Royale.

The Monument of the Discoveries (Portuguese: Padrão
dos Descobrimentos, Portuguese
pronunciation: [pɐˈðɾɐ̃w duʒ ðɨʃkuβɾiˈmẽtuʃ])
is a monument on the northern bank of
the Tagus River estuary, in the civil
parish of Santa Maria de Belém, Lisbon.
Located along the river where ships departed to
explore and trade with India and the
Orient, the monument
celebrates the Portuguese Age of
Discovery (or "Age of Exploration") during
the 15th and 16th centuries
The monument was conceived in 1939 by Portuguese
architect José Ângelo
Cottinelli Telmo, and sculptor Leopoldo de
Almeida, as a temporary beacon
during the Portuguese World
Exhibition opening in June 1940.
The Monument to the Discoveries represented a
romanticized idealization
of the Portuguese exploration that was typical of
the Estado Novo regime
of António de Oliveira Salazar. It was originally
constructed as a temporary construction, located in
the Praça do Império as part of an urban
renewal
project favoured by minister Duarte Pacheco, but
with the resistance of
Cottinelli Telmo. Yet, by June 1943, the original
structure was demolished
after the exposition as there was no concrete
formalization of the project.

Lisbon[a] is
the capital and most populous
city of Portugal, with an estimated
population of 575,739 as of 2024, within its
administrative limits and 3,028,000 within
the metropolis, as of 2025. Lisbon is
mainland Europe's westernmost
capital city (second overall after Reykjavík),
and the only one along the Atlantic coast, the others
(Reykjavík and Dublin) being on islands. The city
lies in the
western portion of the Iberian Peninsula, on the
northern shore of the River
Tagus. The western portion of its metro area,
the Portuguese Riviera, hosts the westernmost
point of Continental Europe, culminating
at Cabo da Roca.
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world
and the second-oldest European
capital city (after Athens), predating other
modern European capitals by
centuries. Settled by pre-Celtic tribes and later
founded and civilized by the Phoenicians, Julius
Caesar made it
a municipium called Felicitas Julia,
adding
the term to the name Olissipo.

The Alfama is the oldest
neighborhood of Lisbon, spreading on the slope
between the São Jorge Castle and
the Tagus river. The district includes
the freguesias (parishes) of São Miguel,
Santo Estêvão, São Vicente de Fora
and part of the two streets, "Freguesia da Sé: Rua
do Barão" and "Rua São
João da Praça". It contains many important
historical attractions, as well
as an abundance of Fado bars and
restaurants. |

|
The name Alfama originates from
the Arabic al-ḥamma (الحَمّة),
meaning
"hot springs". The Arabic word comes
from the root meaning "to heat" or
"to become hot", from which the
word hammam (Arabic: حَمَّام, lit. 'bath,
bathhouse') also derives.
During the times
of Moorish rule,
Alfama constituted the whole of the
city, which later spread to the West
(Baixa neighbourhood).
|
Alfama became
inhabited by the fishermen and the poor, and its
condition as the neighbourhood of the poor continues
to this day.[citation needed]
The 1755 Lisbon earthquake did not destroy
the Alfama, which has remained a labyrinth of narrow
streets and small squares. Lately the neighbourhood
has been restored with the renovation of old houses
and new restaurants where Fado is sometimes
played.

Anthony of Padua,
or Anthony of Lisbon; born Fernando
Martins de Bulhões
(15 August 1195 – 13 June 1231) was a
Portuguese Catholic priest and
member of the Order of Friars Minor.
Anthony was born to and raised by a wealthy
family in Lisbon, Portugal, and died
in Padua, Italy. Noted by his
contemporaries for his powerful preaching,
expert knowledge of scripture, and undying
love and devotion to
the poor and the sick, he was one of the most
quickly canonized saints in church
history, being canonized less than a year
after his death.

The Citadel
of Cascais is a set of fortifications
built between the 15th and
17th centuries to defend the Cascais coastline
and River Tagus estuary and
to protect against attacks on the capital
of Portugal, Lisbon. The citadel
incorporates three separate developments, the tower of
Santo António de
Cascais, the Fortress of Our Lady of Light (Nossa
Senhora da Luz de Cascais),
and the former Royal Palace area. It serves as an
official summer residence
for the President of Portugal.
The first construction of a fort on the site was between
1410 and 1415.
Improvements to this were deemed necessary as the
Cascais Bay was
constantly threatened by the English. In 1488 a
medieval-style tower at the
tip of the Point of Salmodo, to the southwest of the
Bay, was begun under
the orders of King John II of Portugal. The fort,
known as the Torre de Santo
António de Cascais, was designed to share, with
artillery ships and two other fortresses, resistance to
possible military attack on Lisbon.

Óbidos is a town and a municipality in
the Oeste region, historical
province of Estremadura and the Leiria
district. The town proper
has approximately 3,100 inhabitants. The municipality
population
in 2011 was 11,772 covering an area of 141.55 square
kilometres
(54.65 square miles)
The name "Óbidos" is a Latinised (oppidum, citadel)
derivation of
the older Celtic "Eburobricio". The municipality grew
from a Roman
settlement near the foothills of an elevated escarpment.
In 1210, King Afonso II gave the title
of this village to Queen Urraca.
Since then, Óbidos has often been patronized by the
Queens of Portugal,
giving rise to its informal title as Vila das
Rainhas
(English: town of the Queens); several royal
consorts enriched the
village with donations from the Middle
Ages until the 16th century.

Commissioned by Queen
Catherine of Austria (wife of Portugal’s King João III)
in 1573, this aqueduct carried drinking water for the
people of Óbidos.
Its arches crossed 3km of vineyards and orchards,
starting in a spring in nearby
Usseira, and its water ended up in the town’s fountains,
like the one you see
below the pillory in the main square.
The queen paid for the monument herself, by selling her
lands around Óbidos.
It was restored in the 1600s, and survived the great
earthquake of 1755. You’ll
see it as soon as you arrive in Óbidos, and it’s
completely intact. The area
around it is now used as a parking lot, and is where
many tourists leave their car. The town

According to
the Legend of Nazaré, the town derives its name
from a small wooden statue of the Virgin Mary,
brought from Nazareth, in the Holy Land, to
a monastery
near the city of Mérida, Spain, by a monk in the
4th century. The statue was brought
to its current location in 711 by another monk,
Romano, accompanied by Roderic,
the last Visigoth king of today's Portugal.
After their arrival at the seaside, they
became hermits. Romano lived and died in a small
natural grotto on top of a cliff
above the sea. After his death, according to his
wishes, the king buried him in the
grotto. Roderic left the statue of the Black Madonna
in the grotto on an altar.

In
1377, King Fernando I of Portugal
founded a new, more spacious church,
which was totally transformed
between the 16th and 19th
centuries.
The Sanctuary of Our Lady
of Nazaré
is a rich baroque building, with
splendid tiles on its interior. Behind and
above the main altar, visitors can see
and venerate the miraculous statue of
Our Lady of Nazaré.
King John VI gave the church some
religious figures, crowned with 18th
century diadems. The sacred image is
wrapped with a green cloak decorated
|
with gold, gifted to the Virgin Mary by
King John V.
The main chapel is separated from the body of the
church with an arcade made from pau-santo and a
few pillars decorated with mosaics in 19th century
Italian
marble.

Google-oversettelse fontenen over:
Dette monumentet, som er
en hyllest til kvinnene i Nazaré, ligger i
Largo dos Cedros og ble designet av Fernando Pedro og
innviet 9. mai 1998.
Dette sirkulære betongmonumentet veksler mellom tre
baug, som hver
bærer tre figurer av kvinner fra Nasaret i
arbeidsantrekk. Baugene er
delvis dekket med fliser som skildrer hverdagslivet til
kvinner fra Nasaret
i fortiden.
Tilstedeværelsen av vannstråler og belysning minner om
den tidligere
bruken av dette torget – en offentlig fontene.
