Forte da Praia da Consolação
Located next to Consolação beach, it was built in the mid-17th century to reinforce the defenses of Peniche Bay. It features four triangular bastions and five platforms housing the fire hydrants, with access to the interior via a bridge. Over the years, and especially after the 1755 earthquake, it underwent renovations but has always maintained its original Mannerist structure.
