Santa Marta Lighthouse - created by Chrys Rizzo
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 2278 days ago)

The Cabo da Roca Lighthouse - created by MarcosSanchez
The Cabo da Roca Lighthouse (Portuguese: Farol de Cabo da Roca) is a beacon/lighthouse located 165 metres above the Atlantic Ocean, on Portugal's (and continental Europe's) most westerly extent (Cabo da Roca). It is located in the civil parish of Colares, in the municipality of Sintra, situated on a promontory that juts out into the ocean, made up of granite boulders and interspersed limestone. It is a third-order lighthouse, which originally began operating in 1772. It was the first new purpose-built lighthouse to be constructed in the country: the older lighthouses in existence at that time, were constructed on existing platforms or from pre-existing beacons.
The initiative to construct the lighthouse came from the Junta Geral da Fazenda do Reino on 1 February 1758, in an order to construct six lighthouses strategically throughout the country to assist navigation.
Cabo da Roca lighthouse began operating in 1772, becoming the third oldest lighthouse along the Portuguese coast. (5 years and 2279 days ago)

Lovely color and perspective! IMO, the contrast seems a tiny bit low.
This it is, JannaR. When I tried to fiddle with contrast, I botched big time. Thanks
