| Description |
Fortaleza de Santa Cruz, vista do Pão de Açucar (Santa Cruz Fortress) In 1555, Frenchman Villegaignon improvised a fortification to defend French Antarctica. Taken by Mem de Sá in 1567, this fortification was expanded into the key point for the defense of the Guanabara Bay. Called the Fortaleza de Santa Cruz da Barra from 1633 onwards, it was remodeled with numbered pre-cut stone blocks shipped out from Portugal. Completed only in 1870, it featured in some important moments in Brazilian History. Taken over by the National Historic Heritage Trust on October 4, 1939, the Fortaleza de Santa Cruz fortress attracts visitors from all over the world. |
