    The Fort of São João Baptista is located on the island of Berlenga Grande.

    Its military structure is the most significant construction in the Berlengas and the most iconic element of the archipelago.

    It is not known exactly when the Fort of São João Baptista was built, but there is some unclear evidence that indicates that a fortification existed there since the 16th century.
