Description

Inseparable from the landscape of Cascais, in the ensemble that forms with the Santa Marta Lighthouse Museum and the Condes de Castro Guimarães Museum-Library, Casa de Santa Maria reflects a typically Mediterranean architectural trend, valuing light and Arab influence, with arches in horseshoe and tiles as a decorative element.

The decorative richness of this house can be seen in its beautiful 17th century tiles and its magnificent wooden ceiling painted in oil.

Several illustrious personalities stayed here, such as the Grand Duchess Carlota of Luxembourg and her family, the Counts of Barcelona, ​​King Humberto II of Italy and the Dukes of Windsor, among others.

The space, which is sought after for guided guided tours, regularly hosts conferences, book presentations, various workshops, temporary exhibitions and free courses
