Following the coast, close to the Church, you can see the old Fort of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, 16th century, which defended the bay of privateers and pirates.

São Jorge
At its peak, he crossed fire with other small forts. Over time, it became a mere shadow of what it was - fortunately it was re-qualified, housing the Municipal Auditorium and Cultural Center of Velas.
