Fortaleza de São Tiago

The Fort of São Tiago is a historic military fort located in the historical centre of Funchal, Madeira. Constructed in the early 17th century, the fort was built to protect the island against pirate attacks and foreign invasions. The fort is notable for its prominent yellow walls, which contrast with the surrounding architecture, and its strategic position overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Today, Fort of São Tiago serves as both a cultural landmark and a popular tourist attraction, offering panoramic views of the sea and the city of Funchal.
