- Fortaleza de Santiago - located next to the sand in the center of the bay of Sesimbra, the Fortaleza de Santiago was built in the 17th century, by order of D. João IV, and is part of the line of defense of the banks of the Douro, Tagus and Sado rivers, having been one of the most important defense points on the Arrábida coast. Inside, there are the military divisions of that time in good condition, such as the governor’s residence and the garrison’s quarters, the magazine and cisterns, the chapel and the dungeons. This space, which in recent times has been the stage for cultural events, is in the recovery phase in order to house the future sea museum and other cultural centers.
