    Almádena fort is a ruin dating from the 16th century. It was built to protect the fishermen from the pirates that plagued the area. Today, the fort is open to the public and offers a lovely view of the coast.

      The fort of Almádena or the mouth of the estuary is located between the towns of Salema and Burgau on the Algarve in Portugal. It was built in 1632. Damaged by the 1755 earthquake and abandoned in 1849. Wikipedia

        The fortress withstood the earthquake of 1755, but was abandoned when piracy ceased to threaten the coast.
