Fortaleza N S dos Remedios, Fernando de Noronha

Walk around the famed fort and its defensive system of walls built by the Portuguese in the 18th century at Fortaleza N S dos Remedios. The walls are 2.9 m (9.5 ft) high, and 3.5 m (11.5 ft) wide at the base and 3 m (10 ft) at the top, and at its peak the fort had 27 cannons, some of which you can still see. Climb to the top of the 11 m (36 ft) tower in the centre of the fort and see all the way to the neighboring islands. You'll enjoy particularly beautiful views of sea around sunset.
