Description of the place
The Fort of São João Baptista was designed by the architect Tomaz Benedito de Pesaro in the Italian style, and its construction was completed during the reign of King Sebastião. This fort constitutes a strong defensive system, and gives a new perspective in coastal defense. It takes into account and recognizes the new need to protect and service the seaports of Terceira Island.
