Summary

[edit]
Description

A ameaça das invasões francesas de Napoleão ao território português no início do século XIX conduziu à engenharia das Linhas de Torres, um circuito fortificado que protegeu Lisboa contra as investidas das tropas de Bonaparte, que procuraram furar o cerco rumo à capital.

Foram desenhadas 152 obras militares na periferia lisboeta e o concelho de Mafra foi um dos principais laços agregadores deste sistema defensivo, encontrando-se aqui 43 fortificações. Com o Atlântico no horizonte, a proteção das praias de São Julião e Foz do Lizandro, bem como as suas estradas, foi vital no apoio às forças inglesas.

O Forte do Zambujal defendia o desfiladeiro de Fonte Boa da Brincosa, o vale da Senhora do Ó e a Estrada da Carvoeira. O Forte do Juncal era uma segunda linha defensiva dos acessos por estrada até ao nó de Mafra. E o Forte da Feira, na vila da Malveira, era um ponto nevrálgico em toda a gestão da rede de estradas que ligava o litoral a Lisboa.

Todos estes núcleos das Linhas de Torres foram recuperados pelo concelho de Mafra e dispõem hoje de material de apoio aos visitantes. <a href="https://www.cm-mafra.pt/pages/1098" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.cm-mafra.pt/pages/1098</a>
