Scenic lighthouse at walking distance from the centre of Cascais. I was on my bicycle when I visited and the owner was really angry because bicycles are not allowed on the premises, although I was only at the entrance and it wasn't indicated clearly. The museum is really small and the entrance price should be around 2 euro, but it allows you to go to the top op the lighthouse

Es uno de esos rinconcitos que siempre que vas a Cascais, vuelves una y otra vez por la belleza del lugar. En mi caso, el recorrido es siempre el mismo: primero voy a la Boca del Infierno y después bajo hasta la Bahía de Cascais por la carretera litoral hasta aquí (pasando por el chalet donde vivió exiliada la familia real española) disfrutando de las vistas hasta que llegó al puente donde, a la izquierda está el monumental edificio del museo de Condes de Castro Guimaraes, y, a la derecha el bello paisaje del faro y la Casa Museo de Santa Marta asentado sobre un brazo de tierra cuyo costado le baña el agua del mar que entra y forma un pequeño lago tras el puente. En época de invierno es impresionante el oleaje que embiste fuertemente en los cimientos del gran Museo de Castro Guimaraes . Y en verano, es lugar de delicia de familias con niños que hacen su sitio de juegos estival preferida. Aunque reconozco que nunca he entrado en la Casa, porque siempre nos quedamos fuera, haciéndonos fotos y aprovechando este bonito momento.

A fair price at 2 euros per person with a nice view at the top of the lighthouse overlooking Cascais. There's a small museum at the entrance on the left side that goes over the history about the lighthouse and then walk on the opposite end to climb the lighthouse. The stairwell is narrow but, you won't regret the view once you get to the top.

This museum is quite small, but very nice and in beautiful pleasant surroundings. There’s a little museum, but the main attraction is the lighthouse itself, which you can get to climb on the inside to see the views Cascais (you may have to queue a little while due to Covid restrictions). Honestly though, the lighthouse is prettiest from outside and you don’t gain much knowledge from the museum. But it’s still a beautiful spot and good for taking some pictures. We went on the first Sunday of the month, so entry was free in all the museums in Cascais - so I’m not sure if there is an entry free or not. Honestly, I wouldn’t go if I had to pay, but it is definitely worth a quick visit if you can...

It is a pretty house on the shore. It hosted some celebs in the league of kings and presidents. The tour took barely 30min. Our ticket also included a visit to the lighthouse, which is right next to the house. However the lighthouse is closed during lunch hours so we couldn't go up and that was a bit disappointing. ( maybe my rating would have been higher had I seen the lighthouse ) Note - there are no cafes in the vicinity so carry your water and snacks. I would not put this under "must see" category. If you are crossing the road and have time then can do a quick tour. Its not very expensive and the views from the house are...

“... Após um período superior a vinte anos de discussões e projetos, o farol de Santa Marta foi finalmente inaugurado no local do Forte e Ermida do mesmo nome em 1868mar01. O forte era já um importante marco na topografia do local que guiava os marinheiros na entrada e saída da barra do Tejo. No entanto, à noite de nada valia. Sem guias luminosos as tripulações estrangeiras chamavam à costa portuguesa, “costa negra”. O farol, era constituído por uma torre quadrangular revestida a azulejos brancos com uma faixa azul a meia altura, foi projetado por Francisco Pereira da Silva e a estrutura incluía a residência do faroleiro e família. A torre do Farol foi ampliada em 1908 para 17m e em 1936 ficou finalmente com a altura atual de 36m. A 2ª faixa azul foi originalmente pintada sobre os azulejos brancos que haviam sido já colocados antes desta decisão. Em 1950 foi introduzido um equipamento de sinal sonoro e em 1981 passou a integrar a rede de faróis automatizados, dispensando-se assim a presença contínua dos faroleiros. Foi classificado como Imóvel de Interesse Público em 1977. Em 2007jul27 (há já 11 anos), com projeto dos arquitetos irmãos Aires Mateus, foi inaugurado o atual museu, com programa museológico de Joaquim Boiça. Curiosamente, o museu encontra-se aberto mantendo-se o farol em funções de sinalização, supervisionada pela Direção de Faróis da Marinha, situação que é inédita em...
