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?

In Vila do Bispo, Algarve, there's Cabo de São Vicente (Cape St. Vicent), the South-Western point of Europe. Of great importance since the old days, it was even known to the Romans as Promontorium Sacrum, which means "Holy Promontory".

At it's end, there's a a red lighthouse, a former convent and Museu dos Faróis, a small museum that highlights the importance of Sagres in the country's maritime navigation history. The Remais of Fortaleza do Beliche can also be seen, but only from the outside, since it is crumbling along with the cliff.
