Sagres Fortress is situated on a small peninsula 1 km outside the small town of Sagres, Western Algarve, Portugal. The peninsula occupied by the fort is called Sagres Point. It lies 7 km south of the famous Cape St.Vincent which is considered the southwesternmost tip of mainland Europe. Since Ancient times Sagres Point due to its location has played an important role in the region. The name comes from the Latin Sacrum Promontorium which means Holy Promontory or Holy Cape. The fortress on Sagres Point was built in the 15th century under the command of Infante Dom Henry the Navigator with the purpose to protect the area from attacks coming from Northern Africa. From here Henry the Navigator charted his expeditions around the coasts of Western Africa initiating the Portuguese Age of Discoveries. The fortress was severely damaged by the earthquake of 1755 and was completely restored only in the 20th century.
