Castelo de São Tiago da Barra
Castelo de São Tiago da Barra-November 2024
Nov 21, 2024

  You can still scoot around the ramparts of this squat castle, a short walk west of the centre, which began in the 15th century as a smallish fort. It was integrated into a larger fort, commissioned by Felipe II of Spain (Felipe I of Portugal) in 1592, to guard the prosperous port against pirates.
