The Santa Marta Lighthouse Museum in Cascais sits on the grounds of a 19th-century lighthouse built in 1868, itself perched atop the remains of a 17th-century fort — so you're getting layers of history in one compact spot. Right next door to Casa de Santa Maria, the museum tells the story of how this beacon guided ships safely into Lisbon for over 150 years. It's a surprisingly personal and unhurried place, with the lighthouse tower, keeper's quarters, and fort all wrapped into a single site worth exploring.
