Summary

Description

O Forte ou Castelo de São Sebastião salienta-se no complexo de fortificações da Baía de Porto Pim. Foi construído no sec.XVII em tufo vulcânico, material mais acessível e fácil de manusear, extraído do Monte da Guia.

O Castelo sobressaía no conjunto defensivo da ilha tendo desempenhado importante papel no controlo da entrada na Baía de Porto Pim e tráfego a Sul da Ilha.

Foi das poucas edificações militares a ser reabilitada, por volta de 1817, tendo servido, aproximadamente, até ao fim da II Grande Guerra, como prisão. <a href="http://turismo.cmhorta.pt/index.php/pt/oquevisitar/patrimonio/castelo-sao-sebastiao" rel="noreferrer nofollow">turismo.cmhorta.pt/index.php/pt/oquevisitar/patrimonio/ca...</a>
