Fort of Giribita, Coastal fort in Oeiras, Portugal
The Fort of Giribita stands on a rocky outcrop with a pentagonal outline, featuring two circular bartizans and six gun emplacements in its walls.
Built in 1649 during the Portuguese Restoration War, the fortress formed part of the defense network stretching from Cabo da Roca to Belém Tower.
The entrance gate displays royal arms and an inscription detailing the construction period under the supervision of António Luís de Meneses.
Located along Avenida Marginal with private parking facilities, the fort offers direct access to nearby attractions including Casa do Relógio and Praia da Torre.
The structure maintained different artillery configurations throughout centuries, ranging from two to seven cannons, reflecting its evolving military requirements.
