    Nothing like a castel. Just dirt and some rotten stones. The entrence sign said 26 canons but thats a lie. We where 6guys looking for them in half an hour, without luck sadly.... The ditched was really cool, seems like a superb defence system!

    Quite fascinating construction and it is not very old, but i think i hasn’t been preserved well. Surely the local council can do better, highly recommend to visit for history lovers.

    Considered one of the most important and biggest military building, built in 1809, Forte de São Vicente had 26 pieces of artillery and about 2000 military. Was the Wellington headquarters with a optical telegraph
