Cape Roca Map / Location

Land becomes sea at Cape Roca: the westernmost point of continental Europe. Nearly 12 miles from Sintra and a short excursion from Lisbon, Cape Roca marks the end of the continent. Visit the Crucifix Monument and take pictures at the cliffs’ edge, and see the lighthouse that has helped ships navigate the complicated cliffs since 1772. You can even get a certificate of presence to commemorate your trip.
