Fortim de São Bento
Ordered by Governor Duarte Sodré Pereira to defend that anchorage, this small fort was built in the early 20th century to replace a previous 16th-century fortification dedicated to Saint Sebastian, which was destroyed by a massive flood in 1803. It is a circular tower with a revivalist design, retaining the original Baroque inscription and coat of arms.
