Duke of Braganza Fort

Sal-Rei [Porto Inglês], Boavista Island, Cape Verde

Military Architecture

This fort is situated on the islet in front of the town and dates to the arrival of settlers from Povoação Velha in the first half of the 19th century. Some ruins of the complex remain today, namely the platform/terrace with sections of the old defence wall and several cannon on the stone pavement.
