Fort of Leça de Palmeira

The Fort of Leça da Palmeira, also known as Castle of Matosinhos or Fort of Our Lady of the Snows is a coastal fortification located in Leça da Palmeira, Matosinhos in the Greater Porto region of Portugal. Built between 1652 and 1720 to replace an earlier fortification, it formed part of the defensive system at the mouth of the Douro River. Since the 1844, the fort has served administrative and maritime functions and it now hosts Captaincy of the Port of Leixões and the local maritime police command.
