Nice interesting small museum inside the city.

It is fine to spend 20 - 30 min there.

The view of the wall from the outside is very intriguing, it gives you that Rome vibe (Aurelian walls). There is so much things to see and learn (mozambique history) inside and the stuff is friendly. The only hustle is the parking outside.

Myself and two children went to explore the fort. We paid the entry fee which would have been a good deal if the place was maintained properly. The garden was full of smashed glass, plastic bottles, plastic bags, cut offs of traditional African fabric. The youngest one went to sit on a bench for a photo and stepped on a pin that went through her sandle and into her foot. Luckily she had her tetanus. Also all the spaces inside the fort walls had been locked off. Apart from that it was quite interesting. I do recommend going but not untill it is sorted. It would only take 1 hour to clean the place up but no-one seems to be interested. We got our money back and an apology was made.

Quick visit to the fortress. It is indeed not big, but hardly costs anything (50 Mt pp)... so why not visit and support its maintenance. Interesting display of Mozambique's history through puppet displays/ maquettes. Of course you must not miss the old Portuguese Fortress of Maputo. It is actually quite small and can be covered in less than an hour. They've got some pretty old cannons here which are neat to look at. Not exactly the funnest part of town to visit or park in, but you've got to do it at least once! There's some really interesting and informative exhibits explaining the formation of Maputo city over the last 500 years

For 50 MT you can have a very quick visit to this place. Not that big though. I liked the view to the main street from above the walls. Also some interesting history behind each piece. You get to know part of the colonial history of Maputo. Do this if you are in the city, but don't expect much to see.

The fort is quite interesting although a bit lacking in historical detail about it all. It's now overseen by the university so I would've hoped for a bit more...... nonetheless there is a bit of history, lots of guns and some historical models. Most of all it's a nice, quiet place in the centre of town for reflection and peace. Staff are v friendly and only 50MZN entry.

Good way of getting a glimpse of what Maputo would have been like over the years and how people protected it. Unfortunately everything is quite run down.
