        There is a small cafe right next to the fort. Here you can sit and see the fort, the river and the Belem Tower, so the ideal place to see everything.

          The Bom Sucesso Fort, located on the current Plaza de la Imperio (Imperial Square), next to the Belém Tower, was built in 1780 between the Bom Sucesso and Pedrouços beaches on the right bank of the Tagus River as a complement to the Belém Defense Line under the direction of General Guilherme de Vallerée. It was completed in 1782. Since 1994, the premises of the old fort have been part of the Memorial to the Ultramar Fighters. It houses the permanent exhibition "The Portuguese Fighter." Outside, there are three rooms containing equipment related to the various branches of the armed forces.
