    Fortaleza d'Amura

    Off the southern end of Av Amilcar Cabral are the narrow streets of the old Portuguese quarter, with colourful if often crumbling Mediterranean-style buildings. The old neighbourhood is guarded by the Fortaleza d'Amura. Surrounded by imposing stone walls, it's still used by the Guinean military and strictly off-limits to visitors.
