Elvas, Forte de Santa Luzia, entrada
Elvas, Portugal

Foi mandado erigir em 1641 por El-Rei D. João IV, após a restauração, com vista à defesa da cidade de Elvas e do Reino. Para sua construção foi escolhido o outeiro de Santa Luzia por ser um local que, quando ocupado pelo inimigo poderia colocar em risco a integridade da cidade.

Apresenta planta retangular com baluartes pentagonais nos vértices, no estilo Vauban. Os baluartes são de invocação de Santo António, Santa Isabel, São Pedro e Nossa Senhora da Conceição, contando com guaritas nos ângulos salientes. Nas frentes voltadas a leste e sul, erguem-se dois revelins denominados respectivamente de Badajoz e da Poterna

More About Elvas, Portugal

The site, extensively fortified from the 17th to 19th centuries, represents the largest bulwarked dry-ditch system in the world. Within its walls, the town contains barracks and other military buildings as well as churches and monasteries. While Elvas contains remains dating back to the 10th century ad, its fortification began when Portugal regained independence in 1640. The fortifications designed by Dutch Jesuit padre Cosmander represent the best surviving example of the Dutch school of fortifications anywhere. The site also contains the Amoreira aqueduct, built to enable the stronghold to withstand lengthy sieges.UNESCO
