- Construction: The fort was built in the 16th century, during the reign of King John III, to protect the town of Peniche from attacks by pirates and corsairs. - Reconstruction: The fort was rebuilt in the 17th century after being damaged by an attack by the English.

It's impressive how this fortress sits here in the blue water. It's unimaginable under what difficult conditions it was once built. Nevertheless, it makes for a uniquely beautiful photo opportunity, well worth the climb.

The Castelo de Óbidos is a medieval castle and symbolically towers over the town of Óbidos. The fortification is likely of Roman origin, but the region was settled even earlier, in prehistoric times. Its eventful history over the decades can be found here: https://www.burgen.de/burgen-und-schloesser/portugal/castelo-de-obidos/ In the 20th century, the Castelo de Óbidos was found completely in ruins. Starting in 1932, the castle underwent the first consolidation, reconstruction, and restoration work. It was restored to accommodate state guests – the first Portuguese state accommodation in a historic building. Therefore, the interior of the castle is unfortunately no longer open to visitors.

One thinks of the many people who once had to serve here

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.

Simply a wonderful experience
