This is Cabo de São Vicente. The jagged cliffs rise up to 60 metersFor the citizens of Rome, Cabo de São Vicente was the "End of the World", a supernatural vortex where the setting sun was dramatically submerged by the immense and unknown ocean. The myth persisted throughout the Middle Ages until one man decided to put an end to all this crazy nonsense and, with that, put an end to the Dark Ages: Infante D. Henrique, the Navigator, father of the Golden Age of Discoveries in Portugal.
