The first fortification of the archipelago, at the head of the defensive system of the city, composed of six other small forts
Built in 1587, in a dominant position 120 metres above the sea, it is the first fortification in the archipelago, at the head of the city's defensive system, which itself consists of six other small forts scattered at strategic points. In architectural terms, São Filipe has a polygonal plan with a bastion design with two facades facing the countryside and two walled fronts with firing parapets, facing the centre. Mini museum with film projection.
