DescriptionForte de São João Baptista - Ilha da Berlenga - Portugal (3838523606).jpg |
O Forte, ou Fortaleza, de São João Baptista situa-se na maravilhosa ilha da Berlenga. O pequeno arquipélago das Berlengas, situado a cerca de 10km a oeste de Peniche, é constituído pela ilha da Berlenga Grande e recifes adjacentes, as Estelas e os Farilhões-Forcados, estando classificado como Reserva Natural desde 1981. O Forte de São João Baptista foi mandado construir em 1651 pelo rei D. João IV, dada a sua posição estratégica. Diz-se, contudo, que na ilha existiria um Mosteiro da Ordem de São Jerónimo, desde 1513, que oferecia assistência aos marinheiros em passagem e aos muitos náufragos vítimas da violência da costa. Este mosteiro terá sido sucessivamente atacado por piratas, o que levou ao seu abandono. Já no século XIX o Forte é desartilhado e abandonado, servindo como apoio às actividades piscatórias da região. No século XX, o Forte foi transformado em pousada, abandonada após a revolução do 25 de Abril. Hoje em dia o Forte de São João Baptista funciona como “casa-abrigo” da Associação dos Amigos das Berlengas, e é um dos locais de alojamento do arquipélago, contando com doze quartos principais e oito na muralha, bem como serviços de mini-mercado e restauração. <a href="http://www.guiadacidade.pt/portugal/index.php?lg=pt&G=monumentos.ver&artid=18096&distritoid=10" rel="nofollow">www.guiadacidade.pt/portugal/index.php?lg=pt&G=monume...</a> The São João Baptista Fort is situated in the wonderful Berlenga Island. The small Berlengas archipelago, situated at about 10km distance of Peniche, is constituted by the Berlenga Grande Island and the adjacent reefs, the Estelas and the Farrilhões-Forcados, classified as a Natural Reserve since 1981. The São João Baptista Fort construction was ordered in 1651 due to its strategic location. It is said that in this island existed a Monastery since 1513 that assisted the sailors and the many shipwrecked victims due to this coast violence. The monastery would have been successively attacked by pirats, which led to its abandonment. Already in the 19th century the Fort is abandoned, serving as support for the fishing activities in the region. On the 20th century, the Fort was transformed into a hotel unity, that was also abandoned after the troubled times of the 25th April revolution in 1974. Nowadays the São João Baptista Fort works as a “shelter-house”, a kind of Bed and Breakfast, and is one of the accommodation places of the archipelago, offering twelve main rooms and eight on the walls, as well as a convenience shop and a restaurant.
