This fort was part of the Linhas de Torres Vedras defensive line built in 1810 to withhold the French Invasion ordered by Napoleon. From here you have a wonderful view of the Sizandro Valley with the ocean in sight already

A beautiful view back to Santa Cruz and the rocky outcrop. A small path leads south from the highest point toward Praia Azul.

The poet Antero de Quental often hiked here to gaze out at the sea. Indeed, from here you have a magnificent view of the entire country. In strong winds, you can see paragliders practically suspended in mid-air, as the updrafts are so powerful.
