    Outside the old town lies the fortress Fortaleza de Nossa Senhora da Penha de França, also known as Forte da Ponta da Bandeira and Forte do Pau da Bandeira. The fort was built at the end of the 17th century and served as a defensive fort for Lagos.

      The Fort of Lagos now houses a museum which describes the individual countries that were discovered and conquered by Portuguese sailors.

        It's just an old fortress. There is an entrance fee to visit.
