Forte de Santo Antônio da Barra is a fortress in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. It was built to guard the entrance to the Bay of All Saints, during the time of the Portuguese Empire. The first Portuguese fort built in Bahia was probably built in 1501, in the same area now occupied by the Forte de Santo Antônio da Barra. The foundation stone of that first fortress was placed in an area called Ponta do Padrão, now known as the Largo do Farol da Barra, the wide public square in front of the fortress. The fort also houses the 22-meter high Barra Lighthouse and the Nautical Museum of Bahia. Santo Antônio da Barra Fort is protected as a historic structure by the National Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage.
