Cape St Vincent

Cape of the Algarve region, southwest Portugal. It is the extreme southwesterly point of continental Europe. England defeated the French and Spanish fleets off the cape in 1797, during the Napoleonic Wars.

The small town of Sagres, on the cape, was the location of Prince Henry the Navigator's school of navigation and cartography. It was from here that many of the great voyages of exploration were planned after its founding in 1416.
