Fortaleza de São Miguel. Cosa vedere e come visitare

Looking for a unique experience in Luanda? Look no further than the Fortaleza de São Miguel, a restored Portuguese fortress from the 17th century. This landmark also houses the Museum of Armed Forces, featuring a vast collection of weaponry and military vehicles used during the war of independence against Portugal.

With its breathtaking views of the city and surrounding areas, this fortress offers a 360-degree perspective. Explore the museum to learn about the history of Luanda's liberation and its political development from a local perspective.

Although the maintenance and structure of the fortress need improvement, the vista alone is worth the visit. Don't miss the opportunity to witness the city's boundaries and immerse yourself in its rich history.

Entry costs 524 kwanza, and for security reasons, you'll need to store your backpack in the entrance lockers. Despite initial concerns, the fortress provides a safe and memorable experience.
