Fortaleza De Sagres, Sagres Point, Cape Saint Vincent, Sagres, Algarve, Portugal, Europe
The Fortaleza de Sagres, Sagres also referred to as Castle or Fort of Sagres, located in a dominant position crowning the Ponta de Sagres, in the southwest of the Algarve in Portugal. Its steep cliffs, constantly beaten by wind, the visitor enjoys a panoramic stunning along the coast, especially in the coves of Sagres, Cape St. Vincent (extreme southwest of Europe) and the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean. The fortification itself and its vicinity, integrated in the Natural Park of Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina, offer the possibility of a close look at the natural heritage of the coast, especially in regard to flora, housing some of the most representative species of the region as, eg Allium ampeloprasum (leek-mad), Armeria welwitschii (herb-divine), Asteriscus maritimus (pampilho-sea), crithmum (perrexil-fish), Juniperus turbinata ( Zimbreiro), Malva sylvestris (mauve), Pancratium maritimum (Narcissus-Marram Grass), Spartium junceum (Esparto). Bastion of polygonal layout, consists of a curtain closing the shore side and a wall that extends through on the left. At both ends of the curtain rise from half-bastions 1793, one under the invocation of Santa Barbara (patron saint of artillery) and one of St. Anthony (patron of the Portuguese Army). Halfway through the curtain opens the Monumental Gate Square in the neoclassical style, topped by a coat of arms on the pediment and epigraphic plate referring to the then governor of the Algarve, Nuno José Fulgencio John Nepomuceno de Mendonça e Moura (1793) . The internal gate side can be seen a headstone in memory of Henry the Navigator, placed around 1840. Strategically distributed by the embankment there are six batteries facing the sea and watchtowers. Isolated from other buildings, stands the Storeroom Powder probably built in the mid eighteenth century. Inserted into all buildings, it is a replica of a sixteenth-century discovery of Standard, in which can be seen a coat of arms of the Infante D. Henrique. It is noteworthy, however, Rosa-dos-Ventos, also known as rose of winds of Henry the Navigator, a comprehensive framework that considers traced back to the sixteenth century. Casually revealed in 1921, is a star with 32 spokes, symbolizing the direction inscribed in a circle drawn on the ground by irregular pebbles and some authors believe that this is the gnomon of a sundial. Several historical buildings can be seen in the embankment of the fortress, as the central turret, several quarters and buildings as the cistern tower - probably the result of Henrique's project, present in much of the fortress representations after Drake's raid in 1587 - the old houses of the current and the Governor's House, tour reuse of target structures in the project of the 1990s. The building of the present temple replaced, possibly in 1570, to the time of King Sebastian, the old hermitage of Santa Maria sent erected in 1459 by Prince Henry. After the 1755 earthquake, which was damaged, were added to the sacristy and the bell tower. It features simple quadrangular single nave with small windows insulated the walls and shot in barrel vault. The headboard with attached sacristy, also has square plan and is surmounted by a semi-spherical dome. The main facade is marked by the entry door with lintel and gable roof. The bell tower, built in the location of the ancient ossuary of the cemetery, is accessed through a staircase on the east side. Here it belongs, since 1997, the Baroque altarpiece of the Chapel of St. Catherine of Belixe Fort. There is no certainty about what would be the exact location of this sacred promontory that permeated much of history the site of the fort, but it is possible to identify, in general, an area that would extend from the tip of the Piedade Arrifana, comprising the cable St. Vincent and the Ponta de Sagres. This space, known by many as the end of the known world, where he initiated the storms to date into one of the largest areas of standing stones and megalithic buildings in Europe. Visited by navigators coming from the Mediterranean Sea from c. 4000 BC, was quoted from classical antiquity by Avieno, Strabo and Pliny as a worship area dedicated to Saturn or Hercules, strong connotation of deities with the maritime world. Later, during the Islamic occupation of the Iberian Peninsula accentuated your local character of pilgrimage, calling itself then Chakrach having very contributed to this legend the relics of the Christian martyr St. Vincent de Zaragoza.

Sagres Point, Sagres, Algarve, Portugal, Europe
Sagres Point is a windswept shelf-like promontory located in the southwest Algarve region of southern Portugal. Only 4 km to the west and 3 km to the north lies Cape St. Vincent (Cabo de São Vicente), which is usually taken as the southwesternmost tip of Europe. The vicinity of Sagres Point and Cape St. Vincent has been used for religious purposes since Neolithic times, to which standing menhirs near Vila do Bispo, a few miles from both points, attest. The promontory of Sagres has always been important for sailors because it offers a shelter for ships before attempting the dangerous voyage around Cape St. Vincent (could be Belixe Bay, between Sagres Point and the Cape, or Sagres Bay, to the east). Given the dangers of being blown onto the coastal rocks, captains preferred to wait in the lee of the point until favourable winds allowed them to continue. There is some question whether Sagres Point, whose name derives from Sacrum Promontorium, or neighboring Cape St. Vincent, was the ancient sacred promontory. Strabo believed the promontory was the most westerly point of the whole inhabited world. In fact Cape St. Vincent is more westerly, but because it is further north, and Strabo's map of the Iberian Peninsula is rotated clockwise, bringing the Pyrenees into a north-south line, it could have been taken as further east. The most westerly point of the Iberian peninsula and of the European continent is Cabo da Roca, near Sintra; the southernmost, Punta de Tarifa, in Andalusia. The region adjacent to this cape they call in the Latin tongue Cuneum, which signifies a wedge. The promontory which projects into the sea, Artemidorus (who states that he has himself been at the place) compares to a ship; three little islands, each having a small harbour, contribute to give it this form; the former island resembling the beak of the ship, and the two latter the beams on each side of the ship's bows ... there is no temple of Hercules shown there, as Ephorus falsely states, nor yet any altar nor to any other divinity; but in many parts there are three or four stones placed together, which are turned by all travellers who arrive there, in accordance with a certain local custom, and are changed in position by such as turn them incorrectly. It is not lawful to offer sacrifice there, nor yet to approach the place during the night, for it is said that then the gods take up their abode at the place. Those who go thither to view it stay at a neighbouring village overnight, and proceed to the place on the morrow, carrying water with them, as there is none to be procured there. No part of Cape St. Vincent fits this description, but on the eastern side of Sagres Point is a harbor, Baleeira, port of the modern town of Sagres, protected by four small islands in a line (the tiny Martinhal Islets) visible in satellite imagery. At the far eastern end of the beach of Martinhal, erosion of the cliffs has exposed a series of Roman pottery kilns for fabricating transport amphoras and roof tiles. When Infante Dom Henry the Navigator commenced his explorations, which would initiate the Portuguese Age of Discoveries, at his Vila do Infante, Sagres peninsula lacked the necessary requirements for such large undertakings. Fresh water was scarce, agriculture was minimal, there was a shortage of wood for shipbuilding, no deep-water landing site, and the population was small. Henry re-populated a village called Terçanabal, which had been deserted due to continuous pirate attacks on the coast. The village was situated in a strategic position for his maritime enterprises and was later called Vila do Infante. Henry the Navigator employed cartographers, such as Jehuda Cresques, to help him chart the coast of Mauretania in the wake of voyages he had caused to made to there. He also engaged an expert map and instrument-maker, Jayme of Majorca, so that his captains might have the best nautical information. This probably led to the legend of the Nautical School of Sagres (although a school also means a group of followers). There was no centre of navigational science or any supposed observatory, if compared to the modern definition of observatory or navigational centre. The centre of his expeditions was actually at Lagos, further to the east along the Algarve coast. Later Portuguese voyages left from Belém, just west of Lisbon. This was a time of many important discoveries: cartography was being refined with the use of newly devised instruments, such as an improved astrolabe and improved sundial, maps were regularly being updated and extended, and a revolutionary type of vessel known as the caravel was designed. Prince Henry built a chapel next to his house in 1459, as he began to spend more time in the Sagres area in his later years. He died at Sagres on 13 November 1460. The exact location of Henry’s School of Navigation is not known (it is popularly believed to have been destroyed by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake).

Fortaleza do Beliche - Algarve - Portugal
A Fortaleza do Beliche, também designada por Forte do Belixe, encontra-se na ponta de uma falésia da baía do Beliche, no concelho de Vila do Bispo. Este monumento apresenta uma planta poligonal estrelada e ostenta casamatas voltadas estrategicamente para o mar.
Esta fortaleza, consagrada a Santo António, foi construída no séc. XVI a fim de proteger a população de ataques dos piratas. Em 1587, foi destruída pelo ataque comandado pelo corsário Francis Drake, que foi contratado pela rainha da Inglaterra Elizabeth I, com o objetivo de derrubar esta e outras infra-estruturas defensivas do sudoeste da Península Ibérica, numa altura em que os reinos unidos de Espanha e Portugal eram inimigos de Inglaterra. No séc. XVII foi mandada reconstruir por D. Filipe III. Em 1755 foi danificada por um terramoto. Em 1960, foi recuperada e transformada numa pousada.
A autarquia de Vila do Bispo adquiriu a Fortaleza do Beliche em 2012. Este monumento encontra-se abandonado há vários anos e a erosão constante da falésia em que se encontra, deu origem à atual existência de perigo de toda a estrutura ruir.
A porta de entrada desta fortaleza tem um arco de volta perfeita e está inserida numa reentrância formada por um contraforte de uma torre quadrangular. Em cima desta porta, existe um escudo de armas do rei D. Sebastião e uma inscrição que faz referência ao ano de 1632, que deve corresponder à data de conclusão da reconstrução deste forte.
Depois da porta de entrada existe um longo e íngreme caminho com escadas dispersas que permite aceder ao mar. É provável que tenha sido por aqui que entravam os mantimentos e outros materiais quando ocorriam cercos terrestres. Deste caminho avista-se a Vila de Sagres e a Ponta de Sagres.
A porta que dá acesso ao interior da fortaleza também apresenta um arco de volta perfeita. Esta entrada está atualmente interdita ao público devido ao elevado perigo de derrocadas.
No interior, adossadas à muralha, encontram-se as dependências de apoio à guarnição militar (tais como a camarata e o paiol) e a Capela de Santa Catarina, de forma cúbica, constituída por uma nave quadrangular coberta por uma cúpula. Esta organização do espaço permite a existência de um espaço amplo onde eram efetuadas manobras militares.
