Its origins as an independent entity date from the Carta da Vila, of June 7, 1364, in which King D. Pedro I of Portugal separated it from the term of Sintra due to its economic development. Administratively, it only became independent in 1514, the date on which it was provided with its own charter. Occupied since the Paleolithic period, and with an important archaeological heritage, the municipality was focused on agricultural production, fishing and resource extraction from an early age. Its strategic position in Barra do Tejo also contributed to its importance, today boasting a vast military architectural heritage.

Due to its natural and scenic values, both the town and the municipality experienced a surge in popularity that saw it become the preferred destination for Portuguese and foreign elites from the 19th century onwards. The arrival and electrification of the railway were crucial to the city's progress, being the main factor in its urbanization from 1930 onwards.

Boca do Inferno is located on the Costa da Guia, west of the town of Cascais, in Portugal.

The name "Boca do Inferno" attributed to this place is due to the morphological analogy and the tremendous and frightening impact of the waves that are felt there.

The feature that makes up the rock in the cliff is carbonate in nature. Erosion caused by the action of rainwater which, containing dissolved carbon dioxide, causes the dissolution of carbonate. Through this process, cavities and caves are formed inside the limestone.

It is quite possible that the site was an ancient cave. With the collapse of the upper layers, the cave was destroyed, leaving a huge open-air cavity.
