Portugal has Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe.
Cabo da Roca is a dramatic Atlantic cape in the Sintra municipality, west of Lisbon. It marks the westernmost point of mainland Portugal and, by extension, continental Europe and the Eurasian landmass. The cape’s cliffs rise to about 140 metres above the sea, giving it a broad view over the Atlantic.
A lighthouse at Cabo da Roca began operating in 1772 and remains one of the landmark features of the site. The cape was known to the Romans as Promontorium Magnum and was later called the Rock of Lisbon during the Age of Sail.
The wording “mainland Europe” matters. Portugal’s position is different from the westernmost point of Europe if offshore islands are included; the Azores extend much farther west but are not part of mainland Europe. Cabo da Roca is also sometimes confused with Spain’s westernmost mainland points, but the famous European extreme belongs to Portugal.
