Nossa Senhora dos Remédios Fort
Description: this is the biggest fort of the whole defensive sysytem implemented by the Portuguese in the XVIII century. It's situated on a hill between the Saint Anthony Harbour and the Cachorro Beach. Its project was based on a bridge over the Mulungu Brook and a road, which follows the hill flank up to its walls. This fort was erected over an original dutch redoubt, which was erected in 1629. It was used as a common and as a political prison and also as a soldier quarter during World War II.
