Situated by the sea, this castle (Forte de São João do Arade) was erected in 1640 after the Restoration of independence, in order to replace Ferragudo Castle. This castle was among the few not devastated by 1755 earthquake, because it was built in massive rock. The tide was out fortunately for this shot, I'm not that happy about taking my tripod into the sea! Other angles tend to make the castle look a bit flat. Last I heard the castle is now a privately owned home.
