Five kilometers from Sagres,

For the citizens of Rome, Cape St. Vincent was the “End of the World”,
a supernatural vortex where the setting sun was dramatically submerged by the vast and unknown ocean.
The myth persisted throughout the Middle Ages until a man decided to put an end to all this crazy nonsense and, with it, put an end to the Dark Ages: Infante D. Henrique, the Navigator, father of the Golden Age of Discovery in Portugal.

Sagres, crossing routes between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean,

The Portuguese expansion policy in the 15th and 16th centuries led to the foundation of Vila do Infante. Thus, Vila do Infante and Sagres become confused in the course of time.
