Lonely Planet review for Castelo de São Tiago Da Barra
You can still scoot around the ramparts of the Castelo de São Tiago Da Barra, a short walk west of the centre, which began in the 15th century as a smallish fort. It was integrated into a larger fort, commissioned by Felipe II of Spain (Felipe I of Portugal) in 1592, to guard the prosperous port against pirates.
