Fortim de São Bento
Commissioned by Governor Duarte Sodré Pereira to defend that anchorage, this small fort was built in the early 20th century to replace an earlier 16th-century fortification dedicated to Saint Sebastian, which had been destroyed by a strong alluvial flood in 1803. It is a circular tower with a revivalist design, retaining the original Baroque inscription and coat of arms.
