2 Best Sights in Sintra, the Estoril Coast, and the Setúbal Peninsula, Portugal

Designed by Eduardo Souto de Moura, one of Portugal's preeminent architects, the striking terra-cotta-colored buildings of this museum are as intriguing as the notable work shown inside. The building houses some of the works of Portugal's best-known contemporary artist, Paula Rego, and there's a small amphitheater on-site that sometimes hosts speakers and literary and art events.

Portugal’s best known contemporary artist, Paula Rego died in 2022 but her legacy lives on in her incredible body of thought-provoking work, much of which is showcased at this modern building in the Cascais Museum Quarter. Designed by the renowned architect Eduardo Souto de Moura, the eye-catching pyramid-like building houses a permanent display of many of Rego’s works, along with visiting exhibitions from other celebrated modern artists.
