Nice Fortress in the mouth of the Douro Bay. 2 minutes walking. Good place to park the car.
It began to be built in XVI century and is a beautiful example of military architecture of Porto. It was used to protect the city coast and the entering in Douro River.
The fortress was built at the end of the 16 century to protect the coast and the Douro entrance. Modern strongholds were added to the original structure of this fine example of military architecture.
