(Translated by Google) At the end of the Restoration War (1640-1668), it was one of the four forts built on the coast between Caminha and Viana do Castelo with the aim of reinforcing the defense of the Atlantic coast of Alto Miño, vulnerable to a possible attack by the Spanish Navy. The others were the Forte da Vinha in Areosa and the forts of Cão and Lagarteira in Vila Praia de Âncora. These were added to the Fuerte da Ínsua, built during that conflict.
