According to the website sightsmap.com, Portugal is one of the most photographed areas of the world. 
We wondered if some of the photos are yours? 

Located in the bay of Cascais, the Santa Marta Lighthouse Museum was opened to the public in July 2007 as a cultural space, but it has kept its coastline signing functions. Adjacent to the lighthouse, are the ruins of the 17th century – Forte de Santa Marta – which started operations in 1868 and played an important part in the defence of Cascais.

The museum is composed by the lighthouse building and other four volumes which are corrently used as exhibition areas, and the “inhabited wall” hosts service areas. There is also an upper platform which offers a wide view of the ocean while the lower one is surrounded by a scenery of rock formations.
