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 was fortress in the past, but, nowadays, it is a site for a luxury high-end hotel which has contemporary arts displayed outside the hotel entrance. Fortress ground or hotel courtyard is well maintained.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The old citadel now holds a boutique hotel, few art galleries and some shops, which makes it even more interesting to explore the building from the inside!

Today the castle overlooks the exclusive Cascais marina and the complex has been transformed into an exclusive hotel.
