Santa Marta Lighthouse Museum
With an architectural project by Francisco and Manuel Aires de Mateus and a museum program by Joaquim Boiça, the Santa Marta Lighthouse Museum was rehabilitated based on a protocol signed between the Cascais City Council and the Portuguese Armed Staff. Opened to the public in July 2007, its model is unheard of in the country, combining exhibition spaces with the coastal signaling function, overseen by the Directorate of Marine Lighthouses.

Centro Cultural de Cascais
Inaugurated in May 2000, the Cascais Cultural Center is housed in the "Pink House", former Convent of Nossa Senhora da Piedade. The construction of this Convent was the initiative of the 4th Count of Monsanto, D. António de Castro, who wished to install the first Portuguese College of Philosophy. The works were completed in 1641. Almost completely ruined by the 1755 earthquake, the Convent was not rebuilt. even if the brothers continued to inhabit it. The history of the Convent until 1834 is described in the Chronicle of the Discalced Carmelites, a religious order that occupied it until that date. When this year the religious orders were abolished, the convent was abandoned and ruined. After passing through several owners was acquired by the Viscount da Gandarinha, in the late nineteenth century, who had installed his summer palace there.

Boca do Inferno
Located on the west coast of mainland Portugal near the village of Cascais, it may have been a cave in very ancient times. Being the region formed of carbonated rocks, the action of rainwater, with dissolved carbon dioxide, progressively over time dissolved the carbonate. In this way cavities were formed in the rocks that, with the action of the sea force, were progressively increasing in size. The abatement of the upper layer turned the cave into an open pit. The current look, along with the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and the foam that often rises up to the level of the road, justifies its name as Hell's Mouth.
