Table of Contents
Forte de São João Baptista (Porto Moniz) is a replica of the original 1730 fortification built to protect the city from pirate attacks, which were common in that era. In 1998, the Porto Moniz municipality acquired the ruins of the Forte de São João Baptista, and two years later, began the restoration work, preserving the remaining exterior walls and reusing the existing stone to restore the original construction. Inside, there is now an Aquarium of Madeira.
