Here we find a beautiful little palace who was built in 1892 and it's also a Library dos Condes de Castro, which exhibits antic Portuguese furnitures and Indo-Portuguese and many 17 th century ceramics; a nice little museum to visit.
We spent about an hour going through this great house with amazing antiques inside. But the views from the windows gave the things inside a run for their money! Friends went to the other great house opposite (Santa Marta), but said this was much nicer.

Free entry to this amazing place. It's totally worth it. Near the marina and lighthouse. Staffs were very knowledgeable and helpful. Surrounding park with birds for instance peacocks adds more to this attraction. Anyone who visits nearby, I would recommend this place.

Full of beautiful/tasteful things from different periods and countries, this is another easy museum of Cascais. The cloister is a lovely place to sit on a hot day.
