Rota D. Carlos. Um Rei em Cascais
Description
In Cascais, thanks to the special conditions of its bay, Dom Carlos found the ideal setting to explore his artistic interests, sports skills and an insatiable scientific curiosity, benefiting from the fact that, from 1870, the royal family settled in the Citadel in the period of the year dedicated to the practice of bathing.
King Luís knew how to transmit his fascination of the ocean to King Carlos, offering him, in 1878 on his 15th birthday, the schooner Nautilus, on the same day on which Cascais experienced the first experimentation of electric lighting in Portugal.
