The Fortaleza de Sagres is a historic fortress located on a dramatic promontory in southwestern Portugal. Built in the 15th century, it is closely associated with Prince Henry the Navigator and played a key role in the Age of Exploration. The fortress offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and features the large “Rosa dos Ventos” compass rose. Over time, it has served as a military stronghold and a maritime center, with its current structure dating primarily from the 16th century. The site remains a significant symbol of Portugal’s maritime history.
