Fortaleza de Peniche
Due to the rocky base of the wall's sections, the citadel's fortifications are irregular. Inside the fortress, highlights include the Chapel of Santa Bárbara, the round bastion, the large cistern, the casemates, and the entire parade grounds. The citadel served as a political prison from the 18th to the 20th centuries. This space houses the National Museum of Resistance and Freedom.
