The Fortress of Sagres, also known as Castle of Sagres or Fort of Sagres, is located in the southwest of Algarve, Portugal, in the Cape of São Vicente. From its scarped cliff, very windy, the visitor enjots a magnificient panoramic view along the coast, prominently the coves of Sagres, the Cape of São Vicente (the most southwestern point of Continental Europe) and the Atlantic Ocean.
The fortress itself and its surroundings offer the possibility of a close look to the natural patrimony of the coast, mainly related to the Flora, being a shelter to some of the most representative species of the region (such as: Alquitura-do-Algarve, Pampilho-marítimo, Zimbreiro, Pólio vicentino, Erva-divina, Esparto, Narciso-das-areias, Salgadeira, Chorão, Porro-bravo, Malva, Perrexil-do-mar).
