Sanctuary of Our Lady of Cabo Espichel
Highlight • Religious Site
On each side of the church there are a series of pilgrim shelters, called Casa dos Círios or simply Hospedarias, which make up the Terreiro or camp. At the beginning is a cruise, the place where the sanctuary really begins.

Cape Espichel

There are many interesting places to discover on the cap, for example dinosaur footprints or the unique church of Sanutario de Nossa Senhora do Cabo with two long buildings that used to house pilgrims.

Cape Espichel Lighthouse
Highlight • Monument
The current tower was inaugurated in 1790, in 1865 it was fueled by oil, changing fuel in 1886, when its light began to be powered by incandescent petroleum vapour and, much later in 1926, by electricity.
In 1983 this lighthouse had a lighting device installed, called a first order, which emitted light in groups of four white flashes, instead of the old fixed light system. With this new system it now had a luminous range of twenty-eight nautical miles (forty-five kilometres).
The support structure for the lighthouse was extended to the sides around 1900.
In 1947 a new era in terms of lighting was entered. An aero-maritime optical device was installed, which had previously been in service with the Cabo da Roca Lighthouse. This new dioptic - catadioptic optic called fourth order, a large model, has a focal length of thirty centimeters, producing single flashes, now with a luminous range of forty-two nautical miles (about sixty-seven kilometers).
