    Forte do Guincho, also known as Forte das Velas, is located on Praia do Abano. It was built in the 17th century and was part of a defensive system along the coast of Cascais. It was a strategic point to monitor ships and protect against landings on Guincho beach. Although it was classified as a Property of Public Interest in 1977, it is currently in ruins. It has undergone several renovations over time.
