The Fort of Cresmina (Portuguese: Forte da Cresmina), also known as the Fort of Crismina, is located at the southern end of Cresmina beach, in the municipality of Cascais, Lisbon District, in Portugal. Originally built in 1762 to protect Cresmina beach from landings, it was transferred to private ownership in 1889. As of 2021 it was in the process of being converted into a restaurant.[1][2]
