[kl-bogel] Cascais, Portugal (29 photos)

Finish dismantling pictures from Portugal. Today I will discuss the wonderful city of Cascais, located in the 30-minute drive from Lisbon. You can reach it by taxi in just 20 euros. In Cascais you can swim, is one of the main resorts of Sunshine Coast (the Portuguese Riviera), it has all the attributes of the resort town - beach (windsurfing), restaurants, discos, embankment at the foot of the citadel, churches, chapels. But most importantly there is a wonderful museum of the artist Paula Rego

Appearance of the museum is a modern interpretation of the historical local architectural style. Unfortunately, the guides hold back information about this wonderful building.

16. The building itself consists of four buildings, converging around a central premise - the hall of temporary exhibitions. The walls of exhibition spaces are covered with a light plaster, the floor is paved with gray marble, mined near Kayshkasha. Also, the museum has an auditorium with 200 seats.

18. Rego, the Portuguese are among the biggest artist of our time, she chose the architect for the House of History "(This is the official name of the museum). Probably, for it was important to shade his emotionally intense paintings restrained background architecture Sout de Moura.
