Lonely Planet review for Forte Defensor Perpétuo

A 20-minute walk north of town, Forte Defensor Perpétuo commands a fine view over the bay. It was built in 1703 (and rebuilt in 1822) to defend against pirate raids on the gold pipeline that ran to Minas Gerais. The fort, located on the Morro da Vila Velha (the hill past Praia do Pontal) also houses an arts center.
