        Definitely worth a visit! Beautiful fortress from the history of Ponta Delgada.

          A nice fort that was supposed to protect the city from attackers. Today a museum is housed here. That exhibits numerous military exhibits.

            Located directly at the port. Very easy to reach in the center. And in good condition. With a small museum.

              The old fortress is right on the harbor and is an example of the old defensive structures of ports in the Middle Ages. The visit to the fort is combined with the visit to the military museum

                Large old fort. Can be visited for a small entrance fee (military museum). Inside there is also a nice view of the harbor facilities from the upper level.

                  Outside there is a memorial from the First World War.

                      The military museum is housed in the old fort at the harbor.
