Description of holiday apartment near Figueira da Foz, Costa de Prata / Silver Coast

Figueira da Foz is home to a gigantic sandy beach that is the country's largest, stretching for more than 3km (2 miles).
Its popularity with surfers (it was a venue for the 1996 World Surfing Championships) is what turned the town into a world-class resort in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Figuera`s finest building, Sotto Mayor Palace, dates from this time. It is a luxurious French-style manor house that belonged to one of the country's most prominent families, with elegant furnishings and a collection of paintings that may be visited.

Another curious building is the 18th century Palace House by the marina, which is the former residence of a count from Coimbra, containing one of the world's greatest collections of Delft tiles. Numbering about 7,000, these Dutch tiles were salvaged from a shipwreck at the mouth of the harbor in the late 17th century.
But the building that attracts the largest number of visitors is the casino, dating from 1886, with its own nightclub and regular shows.
For a more cultural experience, there is the Dr. Santos Rocha Municipal Museum, containing a rich archeological collection, and displaying sculptures, decorative art, and 19th century beach photographs.

Along with high-rise apartment blocks, the triangular 16th century Santa Catarina Fortress overlooks the bay, and on the atmospheric pedestrianised streets behind the sea front are appealing shops and restaurants.
Over a dozen trains arrive in Figueira da Foz from Coimbra every day, and there is also bus service from Lisbon.
