Fort of Paimogo, Military fortress at Lourinhã e Atalaia, Portugal
The quadrangular stone fortress stands on coastal cliffs with cylindrical watchtowers at each corner and a battery facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The fortress was constructed in 1674 under the direction of Count of Cantanhede to protect the Portuguese coastline between Peniche and Cascais.
The structure represents Portuguese military engineering from the Restoration period and received recognition as a Property of Public Interest in 1957.
The fortress grounds provide observation points for maritime activities and coastal landscapes, with seasonal access managed by Guarda Fiscal.
The fortress maintains its original architectural elements from the 17th century, featuring conical roofs atop the cylindrical guard towers.
