Forte de São João do Arade
It formed, together with the Santa Catarina Fort, the defense of the Arade river estuary. Originally consisting of a watchtower, it was expanded in the 17th and 18th centuries. On the initiative of the poet Coelho Carvalho, at the beginning of the 20th century, the residence underwent major adaptation works, which gave it the romantic aspect it presents today.
