Andradas Fort, Coastal fortress in Guarujá, Brazil.

The fortress contains three underground tunnels measuring up to 200 meters, connecting ammunition depots, power rooms, kitchen facilities, and military quarters.

Construction of the fortress began in 1938 to protect Santos port during World War II, making it the final defensive structure built in Brazil.

The fortress bears the name of the Andrada brothers, who played central roles in Brazilian politics and independence movements.

Visitors can join guided tours on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM with advance reservations.

Four Krupp guns with 280-millimeter caliber remain at the site, capable of firing 140-kilogram ammunition across 12 kilometers.
