Venue

 

São Julião da Barra Fort

São Julião da Barra Fort is one of Portugal’s largest maritime fortifications and is impressive for its size and power, besides being the official residence of the Portuguese Ministry of Defense. On foggy mornings and afternoons, the line of its walls looks like the bow of a ship ploughing along the Tagus. It was built to protect the sandbar and access the port of Lisbon.
