    (Translated by Google) Former Portuguese fortress, previously known as Fortress of Saint. Miguel. It has now been renamed the Armed Forces Museum. Exhibition of a vast collection of military and documentary arsenal from the colonial era. It also has statues collected from the ancient city. The other side of the building is dedicated to the recent history of the armed conflict between the three Angolan belligerents. Interesting place to visit while in Luanda. (Original) Antiga fortaleza portuguesa, anteriormente conhecida como Fortaleza de São. Miguel. Agora foi renomeado como Museu das Forças Armadas. Exposição de uma vasta coleção de arsenal bélico e documental da era colonial. Possui também estátuas coletadas da cidade antiga. O outro lado do edifício é dedicado à história recente do conflito armado entre os três beligerantes angolanos. Lugar interessante para visitar, enquanto em Luanda.
