Fort São Caetano, Portuguese colonial fort in Buzi District, Mozambique.
Fort São Caetano stands on Sofala Bay with thick stone walls and defensive bastions positioned for controlling maritime activities along the coastline.
Portuguese colonizers constructed this defensive structure in the region to protect their interests and maintain control over important East African trade routes.
The fort represents the intersection of Portuguese military architecture with East African coastal defense systems, marking centuries of maritime trade influence.
Visitors reach the fort through local transportation services in Buzi District, with guided tours available to explore the historical structure.
The fort's position at Sofala Bay made it a central point for monitoring both coastal activities and inland trade routes during colonial times.
