The Sagres Fortress, also referred to as Sagres Castle or Sagres Fort, is located in a dominant position crowning Ponta de Sagres, in the southwest of the Algarve, in Portugal.
From its steep cliff, constantly beaten by the wind, the visitor enjoys a stunning panoramic view along the coast, with emphasis on the Sagres coves, the Cape of São Vicente (extreme southwest of the European continent) and the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean. The fortification itself and its surroundings, integrated in the Natural Park of Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina, offer the possibility of a close look at the natural heritage of the coast, especially with regard to flora, housing some of the most representative species of the region
