Forte do Bom Sucesso, Military fortress and museum in Belém, Portugal

The stone fortress stands on the right bank of the Tagus River, featuring a polygonal structure connected to Belém Tower by a wall corridor.

General Guilherme de Vallerée directed the construction of this defensive structure in 1780, completing the fortification system of Belém in 1782.

The Combatant Museum exhibits military artifacts, paintings, and sculptures that document 500 years of Portuguese military involvement across different territories.

The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with admission fees ranging from 3 euros for seniors to 5 euros for adults.

The fortress houses a three-dimensional reconstruction of World War I trenches, showing the living conditions of Portuguese soldiers in Flanders.
