Forte de Nossa Senhora da Assunção
Forte de Nossa Senhora da Assunção, Military fort in Vila do Conde, Portugal.
The pentagonal fort features five bastions at its vertices, with stone walls crowned by vertical parapets and guard posts in three of the bastions.
The construction of this coastal defense structure began in the 1570s during the reign of King Sebastian to strengthen Portuguese maritime fortifications.
The fort contains a central parade ground surrounded by service buildings including the Command House, Troop Quarters, Powder Magazine, and Warehouse.
The fortress operates as a public monument and received classification as a Property of Public Interest on October 6, 1967.
After serving as an outdoor nightclub during summer seasons, the fort received a new 15-year concession in 2022 for conversion into a restaurant.
