Forte de Santa Catarina

The triangular 17th-century Forte de Santa Catarina in Figueira da Foz was occupied by French troops during the early stages of the Peninsular War. Although the interior isn’t open to the public, the bar-restaurant at the top offers sweeping views of the coast—a scenic spot to enjoy a drink as the sun sets over the water.
