Rio de Janeiro Travel Information

Forte de São Luiz

Prime location for defense and for tourists
The Fort St. Louis, located in the district Jurujuba in Niteroi, whose main attraction is the stunning view of Guanabara Bay.

Its construction dates back to 1567 with the establishment of a surveillance post. The construction of the fort began only in 1770 by order of the Marquis of Lavradio. In 1918 he completed the work initiated by Marshal Hermes da Fonseca, who built a more modern fortress, located on the higher ground. Forte was named Baron of Rio Branco in 1938. Its collection includes four 150mm cannons and its building area is 5850 m2. The main attraction, however, is the unusual sight of Rio de Janeiro and Guanabara Bay.
