Fort of Saint Antony Além‐do‐Carmo
Fort of Saint Antony Além‐do‐Carmo, Cultural center and fort in Salvador, Brazil
The Fort of Saint Antony Além-do-Carmo features two bastions and stands at the northern boundary of Salvador, overlooking the surrounding coastal area.
The fort originated from a Dutch trench in 1624, later transformed into a permanent stone structure by Portuguese authorities between 1627 and 1635.

The building underwent transformation from a military fortification to a state prison in 1830, holding captives from the Malê revolt of 1835.
