Old Fort guarding Funchal

Old Fort guarding Funchal
Fortaleza do Pico.

Built in the 17th century as a surveillance point, the building has been Portuguese navy property for the last seven decades. Undervisited, it now has a cafe and an exhibition but also serves as a tranquil, if sometimes windy, picnic venue.

Thank you so much Steve,

I am pleased that you like it. The whole of Funchal is built on a very steep hillside. The newer houses are squeezed in wherever an architect is clever enough to make a design which fits the contours of the land!

Best Wishes

Hi Peter,

I love pictures framed by trees! This looks beautiful with the blue sky and the 17th century fortifications! So it has a cafe.....I'm on my way. LoL!

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am pleased you found it interesting. Unfortunately, I didn't sample the delights of the cafe.
But I have come back from my weekend away with lots of pictures framed by trees!!! Watch this space!

Best Wishes, and a Good Week ahead,
Peter
