About this audio guide
This guide to the Santa Marta Lighthouse Museum in Cascais, near Sintra, is about the people who kept its light: the keepers who lived inside the old fort's walls and stood watch here from the eighteen sixties onward. You'll hear what their working day involved, from mechanical chores to watching the weather, and why a keeper's logbook mattered so much on this stretch of coast. Best heard in the courtyard, with the striped tower in view.
