Forte de Santo Inácio de Tamandaré
Forte de Santo Inácio de Tamandaré, Colonial fortress in Tamandaré, Brazil.
The fortress features a quadrangular design with corner bastions and thick stone walls overlooking the Tamandaré bay in Pernambuco state.
Portuguese forces constructed this coastal fortress in the 17th century to protect against Dutch invasions and pirate attacks along the Pernambuco coastline.
The fort includes a chapel dedicated to Saint Ignatius, built in 1780, representing the integration of military and religious elements in colonial structures.
The fortress remains open for visits under Brazilian Navy supervision and contains the Tamandaré Lighthouse, which has operated since 1902.
The fort served as a transit prison for political prisoners heading to Fernando de Noronha archipelago during different periods of Brazilian history.
