Barra Fortress

A Barra Fortress It is a place to walk around and taste good island cuisine, with good restaurants installed there. Another attraction is the marina, from where it is possible to take good pictures. Nothing remains of the Fortress, only the ground with remnants, which is located near the Igrejinha. History shows that the Barra da Lagoa channel it was already silting up and the boats could no longer pass that way. Therefore, the Fortress, built by the engineer and Brigadier José da Silva Paes, was deactivated. Today, the place is the path of speedboats, jet skis and fishing boats.
