Fodor's Expert Review Forte de Santa Catarina

Figueira da Foz Military Sight

The triangular 17th-century Forte de Santa Catarina was occupied by the French during the early days of the Peninsular War. Though it isn't possible to visit the interior, the bar-restaurant at the top of the fort is a lovely spot to enjoy the breeze and a drink with a view.
