Forte Ponta da Bandeira

Located opposite the Bensafrim stream bar, this fort guaranteed the defense of the old port. It was built in the 17th century and features a moat, a drawbridge and a grandiose coat of arms. Inside, there is a small chapel with 18th century tiles. It is a privileged viewpoint to observe Lagos.
