Fortaleza de Sagres
Monuments - Other historical heritage monuments
Sagres, a millenary area of crossing routes between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, a haven for fishermen and traders from various nations, but also an area plagued by privateers. The imposing 18th century fortification of Sagres, which replaced the original built by Infante D. Henrique in the 15th century, is the human extension of the natural rock and was for centuries the main battleground of a geo-strategic maritime defensive system. (automatic translation)
