Forte Tamandaré

(Forte da Lage)

Part of the fortifications to defend Guanabara Bay, Fort Tamandaré is one of the oldest buildings and interesting Brazilian army.

Strategic location and difficult to maintain.

Also called Fort Tamandaré Guanabara. In 1555, he was fortified by Villegaignon that there Ratier installed the battery, with two parts. The weather and the proximity of the sea were factors that contributed to its abandonment by its garrison and putting arms constantly in danger. From the mid-seventeenth century, its reconstruction was begun, though his works were only completed in the late eighteenth century (1779), by the Viceroy Marquis Lavradio. On the threshold of the nineteenth century (1896), began work to modernize, with the main structure and assembly of the domes are completed in 1901. Heavy 240mm and 150mm guns were installed in 1903, along with 75mm cannons. In 1953, as a way to honor the Navy, the Army changed its name from Fort to Fort Tamandaré Lage. Was deactivated in 1997.
