Fort of São Miguel Arcanjo

The Fort of São Miguel Arcanjo is situated in Nazaré, Oeste region of Portugal. It was first constructed in 1577 but has undergone remodeling and expansion on several occasions since then. The fort is a popular tourist site, particularly because of its proximity to a surfing area famous for the height of its waves. It now functions as both a lighthouse and a museum, which is devoted in part to surfing.
