Description
The Avenida dos Descobrimentos (Avenue of Discoveries), opened in 1961, runs along the bank of the harbor channel as far as the Ponta da Bandeira. The Forte da Ponta da Bandeira, with its four round towers at the corners, was built in the 17th C. to guard the harbor. The narrow drawbridge leads to the Museu Maritimo inside the fort (open to visitors).
