BIENVENIDOS !!
WELCOME !!
La Historia del Fuerte no registra grandes hechos en el campo militar, a pesar de haber sido bastante provisto de armamento y de haber recibido efectivos militares significativos. El esfuerzo, sin embargo, no sirvió de mucho. La única vez en que el Fuerte fué atacado, fué por tierra; su lado más vulnerable, por lo que no consiguió resistir mucho tiempo a la invasión. hoy en dia es un centro cultural y sirve de congresos internacionales como atractivo cultural.
Good evening dear community, I come to talk to you about my experience during my visit to the fort of São Julião da Barra, which is located at the tip of São Gião, extreme west of Oeiras, in the parish of Oeiras and São Julião da Barra, Paço de Arcos and Caxias Portugal, also called the marginal one, which is made up of a coast of beaches and I live 2 km from the complex. It constitutes the largest and most complete Vauban-style military defense complex remaining in Portugal. The History of the Fort does not record great events in the military field, despite having been well supplied with weapons and having received significant military personnel. The effort, however, was of little use. The only time the Fort was attacked was by land; his most vulnerable side, which is why he was unable to resist the invasion for long. Today it is a cultural center and serves as international conferences as a cultural attraction.

Using creativity I went to the right side of the fort where Carcavelo beach is located, managing to take some spectacular photos that speak for themselves. Being alone on this walk it was not easy to position the cell phone on the floor to get the perfect shot.
It is located in a dominant position on the highest hill in the historic center, offering the visitor one of the most beautiful views of the city and the mouth of the Tagus River, as its walls were inviolable. It has also been classified as a National Monument since 1910.
The visit to the Castle of San Jorge is paid and costs about 10 euros for most people. Children up to 12 years old do not pay admission and young people (from 13 to 25 years old) pay half price. The ticket allows you to stay as many hours as you want inside the Castle.
