Comments:
The plaque on the wall of the Cascais citadel commemorates Gomes Lourenço de Avelar, a priest, soldier and Portuguese diplomat. He received from King Fernando I the castle and lands of Cascais and was the governor of the castle and the first lord of Cascais.

The citadel wall was photographed that day (the sign is not visible in the photo) Click for a larger image
