Cabo da Roca (Cape Roca) is a cape that forms the westernmost point of mainland Portugal. It was known to the Romans as 'Promontorium Magnum'.





Poet Luís de Camões defined Cabo da Roca as the place "where the land ends and the sea begins" (Portuguese: "Onde a terra acaba e o mar começa"). Compare Cape Finisterre (literally End of land) in Spain, Finistère in France, and Land's End in the United Kingdom.
