Forte de D. Pedro II de Caçapava, Military fortress in Caçapava do Sul, Brazil.
The stone fortress features a hexagonal layout with walls reaching 7.75 meters in height, constructed according to military engineering specifications from the 1850s.
Construction of the fortress began in 1850 as part of Brazil's strategic defense plan against potential Argentine invasions along its southern borders.
The fortress, registered in the Fine Arts Heritage Book in 1938, now houses the Arnaldo Luiz Cassol Municipal Cultural Center for community activities.
The fortress stands on Aristides Macedo Street in Caçapava do Sul, with guided tours available to explore the stone walls and military architecture.
During the Farroupilha Revolution in 1837, the site yielded fifteen artillery pieces and four thousand infantry weapons to revolutionary forces.
