Quinta da Fidalga
Quinta da Fidalga is distinguished by its tidal lake, a unique monument in Portuguese hydraulic architecture. Its origins date back to the 15th century, always associated with agricultural and leisure functions. It is said that Paulo da Gama, brother of Vasco da Gama, settled in the Seixal region to oversee the construction of caravels destined for the discovery of the sea route to India. Also noteworthy is the beautiful garden outside the house. The space is also part of the Manuel Cargaleiro Arts Workshop, an architectural project by Álvaro Siza Vieira.
