• Fortaleza de Peniche, Portugal - The Peniche Fortress, also known as São Francisco Fortress, is a bastioned fortification that once served as a military base and citadel for the town of Peniche. It is located in the western region at the southern tip of the Leiria district in Portugal and has been recognized as a National Monument since 1938.

  The fortress is positioned on the southern slope of the Peniche Peninsula, perched on cliffs between the fishing port to the east and the Furninha Cave to the west.

  Today, the fortress is home to the Museum of Resistance and Freedom, which is part of the Portuguese Museum Network.

• Berlenga Grande - Berlenga Island, or Berlenga Grande, is divided into two sections, nearly separated by a seismic fault. This fault has created the Carreiro dos Cações to the north and the Carreiro do Mosteiro to the south.

  The larger section of the island is called Berlenga and makes up more than two-thirds of the island’s total area, while the smaller section is known as Ilha Velha (Old Island). The island covers an area of 78.8 hectares, measuring approximately 1.5 km in length, 0.8 km in width, and reaching a maximum height of 85 meters.

  Visitors can explore the Duque de Bragança Lighthouse, the São João Baptista das Berlengas Fort, Carreiro do Mosteiro Beach, and enjoy local dining options.

• Castelo de Obidos - It is believed that Óbidos was established by the Celts around 308 BC. Although the Phoenicians attempted to dominate the area, they were unsuccessful due to Celtic resistance. Eventually, the Celts surrendered to the Romans, who conquered this significant land.

  However, capturing this territory was challenging, as there was strong resistance near the fortification, particularly on the eastern side. Realizing that entry from this direction was impossible, the Romans lifted the siege and captured the town by water. They embarked from a northern port (now known as Barra de S. Martinho) and sailed to the town walls through the mouth of the Foz do Arelho.
