Located next to the sea and traditionally a fishing village, Cascais underwent important development in the 19th century. XIV, when it was a busy port of call for ships heading to Lisbon.
However, it was from the 2nd half of the century onwards. In the 19th century, when sea bathing began to be popular, Cascais underwent a boost that transformed it into a very fashionable summer resort. The main driver of the transformation was the King of Portugal D. Luís I, who in 1870 converted the citadel fortress into the summer residence of the Portuguese monarchy. This example was followed by the nobility who built mansions and beautiful villas here where they spent the hottest time of the year, completely transforming the old fishing village.
