Fort off the lower town, used to defend the town from foreign attacks and converted into a prison in the century

Once called Forte de Nossa Senhora do Pópulo and better known as Forte do Mar, the Forte de São Marcelo sits off the coast of the lower town. Built in the early 17th century on a reef, it was originally made of wood and was rebuilt in stone in its present form after the Dutch invasion of 1624. It was used over the centuries to defend the city from foreign attacks and was converted into a prison in the 18th century. Unfortunately, the fort cannot be visited. However, you can get close to it by taking a ferry to the islands in the region.
