Definitely worth a visit. Tours are made every hour, and also on Sundays. Someone of the military staff will guide you around, but doesn't speak English very well.

Fort is at the foot of a mountain called Brazil. In general, they wanted to name the whole island Brazil, but changed their mind, and the name was used for another country. The Spaniards, when they captured the island, expanded the fortress to go around the mountain. The military unit located there is still active today. It is considered to be the oldest in Europe. There is a nature reserve on the mountain itself. There deer live (brought in). We haven't seen the deers themselves, but there is enough manure around.

Hemos hecho la visita a las 5 en punto de la tarde. Ha durado una media hora. El militar que nos ha guiado intentaba aclarar, en portugués, nuestras dudas, era agradable.Te dan un folleto a la entrada en el que te explica las zonas q vas a visitar...la prisión...la cripta ..iglesia ...torreón de bandera...Respiras el aire y la calma de una fortaleza militar. Es una visita que nos ha gustado mucho y recomiendo. Es gratuita

Hemos hecho esta visita que no sabíamos que se podía hacer y lo recomiendo muchísimo! Tienes que ir entre las 10-11am o 14 a 18h y hacen visitas cada hora (sobre en punto). La visita te la hace un oficial del ejército que te lleva por todos los sitios de la fortaleza (las prisiones, la puerta de entrada, la cripta De la Iglesia, la iglesia y las cisternas donde guardaban el agua). En 30minutos lo ves todo. Pregunta al oficial que está haciendo guardia en la entrada y te dirá el sitio para esperar la visita. La entrada es gratuita.
