Built around 1560, it was intended to defend the southern part of the island’s coast, west of the city of Angra, along with the forts of the same line.

In 1983, UNESCO classified it as a World Heritage Site.

An expression of the new world brought by the Renaissance and which the Discoveries established in Angra, an Atlantic city born for trade and navigation with dark walls and a powerful fortress built to protect it.
