The Berlengas archipelago is a Portuguese archipelago, composed of granitic islands, situated in the Atlantic Ocean, 5.7 miles west of Cape Carvoeiro.
They depend administratively on the city of Peniche, West Sub-region.
It was the first protected area of the country when, in 1465, king Afonso V of Portugal prohibited the practice of hunting on the main island of Berlengas.
The Berlengas Nature Reserve has been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 30 June 2011.
