Cascais (pron. IPA *) is a town on the Atlantic Ocean about 30 kilometres west of Lisbon, Portugal. It is a cosmopolitan suburb of the Portuguese capital and one of the richest municipalities in Portugal. The former fishing village gained fame as a resort for Portugal's royal family in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Nowadays it is a popular vacation spot for both Portuguese and foreign tourists.

History
The coastal settlement of Cascais originated in the 12th century, depending administratively on the village of Sintra, located to the North. In its humble beginnings, Cascais lived from the products of the sea and land, but already in the 13th century its fish production served the capital Lisbon, located nearby. During the 14th century the population increased to the outside of the walls of its castle. Its prosperity led to the administrative independence from Sintra in 1364. The village and its surroundings were owned by a feudal lord; the most famous of them was João das Regras (died 1404), a layer and professor of the University of Lisbon that was involved in the ascension of John I to power as the first King of the House of Aviz.
