Lonely Planet review for Forte do Presépio

The city of Belém was founded in 1616 with the construction of the Forte do Presépio, which was intended to protect Portuguese interests upriver against incursions by the French and Dutch. Today it houses a small but excellent museum, primarily about Pará’s indigenous communities (displays in Portuguese only). There are great views of the city and Amazon River from atop the fort’s thick stone walls.
