Forte da Ponta da Bandeira
Sight / building
The Forte da Ponta da Bandeira, also known as Fortaleza or Lagos Fortress, is a fortress in Lagos, Portugal. It was built in the 17th century and served to protect the port of Lagos. The fortress is located at the end of the canal where the Bensafrim River flows into the sea.
The fortress is well preserved and is considered one of the best preserved 17th century fortresses in the Algarve region. It was built late in the 17th century and completed the defenses of Lagos. The entrance is via a drawbridge over a moat. Within the fortress there is a chapel dedicated to Saint Barbara and late 18th century tiles.
The Forte da Ponta da Bandeira is also known for its traditional celebration, the 29th Swimming. Originally intended as a purification ritual, the people of the city of Lagos go swimming together at midnight on August 29th. Nowadays the celebration has become a little more prominent with live music and regional cuisine.
