Cascais Citadel Palace Museum
Cascais Citadel Palace Museum, Historic palace museum in Cascais, Portugal.
The Citadel Palace Museum occupies a former military fortress near Cascais Marina, featuring restored rooms, galleries, and exhibition spaces within stone walls.
Initially constructed as a coastal fortification in the 15th century, the structure transformed into a royal summer residence during King Luis I's reign in 1870.
