Visit the Promontory of Sagres and explore the “Novos Ventos” (New winds) exhibition - an innovative approach to the Portuguese discoveries and wind and sea energy.
The exhibition itinerary has seven stages, seven thematic sections with historical and scientific content, establishing an analogy between technical innovations in the past - such as the navigational instruments that enabled the Portuguese to discover new worlds in the 15th century - and modern technologies, with special emphasis on the use of renewable energies. Located outdoors, this itinerary offers an amazing 3 km promenade, surrounded by the promontory’s unique landscapes - that 600 years ago was considered to be the “end of the world”. In order to gain a better understanding of the historical importance of this site – a point of passage for many 15th century navigators, cartographers and captains - visitors can watch a film about Sagres and the Infante D. Henrique, that will be screened in the former munitions warehouse that has been converted into an auditorium.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the Promontory and the Fortress of Sagres - a historical, cultural, natural and landscape heritage site of incomparable value, located in the heart of the Nature Park of Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina. |
