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 Ponta da Bandeira Fortress is located in the city of Lagos. It was built in the 17th century as one of the main components of a system of sea forts to defend the city, which was then the seat of the Algarve's military government (Translated from Wikipedia).
