Visiting Caparica
For more than 50 years, Caparica was, for me, no more than an ugly village by the longest beach around Lisbon.

In the cliffs overlooking “Costa da Caparica” beach, with great sights, there’s a convent dating from the 16th century, now used by the municipality to cultural and social events.
Restored in 1952, it received a carved altarpiece and new tiles representing St. Anthony’s sermons.
​It is surrounded by a small but nice and refreshing garden.
