The Forte de Santa Catarina, also known as Fortaleza de Santa Catarina de Ribamar, is located in Praia da Rocha, Portimão. It had a defensive function against privateers and pirates. The fort has been modified over the centuries, but its 17th-century main facade has remained. It is currently one of the most visited monuments in Portimão.
