The Fort of São Domingos da Baralha or Forte da Baralha is located next to Praia da Baleeira, between Cabo Espichel and Sesimbra, in the District of Setúbal, Portugal. It was built in the 17th century, as part of the kingdom's defensive strategy implemented by D. João IV, and was begun during the reign of D. Afonso VI, thus contributing to the protection and surveillance of the coast.

Considered at the time to be the first defence of the Arrábida coast, this fort is currently abandoned and in ruins.

The way there is very nice, you just have to be careful not to walk across private property.
