Monte Estoril The beautiful hill town of Monte Estoril is situated between Estoril and Cascais. The town which houses the Verdades-Faria Museum was built in 1917 by Jorge O'Neil. Later on, in 1942 the building was bought by Mantero Belard and dedicated to the support of the arts and artists. Following his death, the building was donated to Cascais Council under the name of Verdades Faria and eventually housed the Regional Portuguese Music Museum.
At present this Museum hosts an important collection of musical instruments related to popular music, assembled by Michael Giacometti. The museum is open for temporary exhibitions, concerts, and guided visits on request.
Monte Estoril has supported Estoril as the flagship of Portuguese tourism. The area was initially called the Sun Coast but is now known as the Estoril Coast.
