Fort of São João Baptista Location: The fort is located in the same area as the lighthouse, at the end of the beach, on the north side of the estuary. History: The fort was built in the 17th century to defend the coast and the mouth of the Cávado River. It lost its military function over the years. Current Use: The fort building currently houses a branch of the Esposende Coastal Interpretation Centre (CILE) and a terrace/bar. It offers a privileged view of the estuary, the ocean and the city.

Esposende Lighthouse (Our Lady of Agony) Location: Located on Rua Forte de São João Baptista, in Esposende. Characteristics: The tower is approximately 13 meters high and emits a red glow to guide local navigation. Function: It is a small lighthouse that assists navigation at the entrance to the Cávado Estuary, a location of great ecological importance. Visits: The lighthouse is not a tourist site with regular visits, but it can be observed from the outside.

The Esposende Lighthouse, officially called the Esposende Lighthouse of Our Lady of Agony, is located next to the São João Baptista Fort in the city of Esposende, Portugal. There is no "Esposende Castle" as such, but rather the São João Baptista Fort, which served defensive functions.
