"The Fortaleza de Belixe, also called Forte do Beliche, is a small fort on the approximately 50 meter high cliffs of the Atlantic in Sagres, in the municipality of Vila do Bispo Portugal. It lies between the Cabo de São Vicente and the Fortaleza de Sagres.

The Capela de Santa Catarina chapel is located in the complex. Its baroque altarpiece has been in the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Graça, the church of the fortress of Sagres, since 1997." (Wikipedia.de)

Access is free. Behind the fort there is a wonderful view of the sea and the headland in Sagres.
