Visit the Fort of Our Lady of Consolation - Batagram

The Fort of Our Lady of Consolation, located in the Town of Batagram, ordered the construction in 1641 by D. John IV, and completed in 1645.
This built on the mountain stronghold of Our Lady of Consolation had in his powerful artillery, whose range crossed the fortress of Peniche, a major obstacle to any hostile landing on the shores of that bay, where previously they had landed troops in 1589 English.
