The original urban design – designed in 1922 by English urban planners Cackett & Burns of Newcastle, England – has undergone several changes since its first version, while remaining the main reference for the development of the Quinta. The initial project, commissioned by Carlos Montez Champalimaud in 1920, confirmed the region’s future potential and proved to be decisive for the acquisition of the Quinta by the entrepreneur, who, at that time, foresaw with perspicacity all the tourism and real estate potential of the site. Later, in the 1970s, the Quinta was divided into four companies: Guia, Raso, Abano and Euronova.
Quinta da Marinha is located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and is known for its excellent views of the Atlantic Ocean and Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Portugal and Europe.
