This fort has a fabulous history. It was originally Barra's first lighthouse ⚓ and with the relocation of Barra in 1908, it came to support only internal signalling. Later it was a prison and at the moment awaits a restoration for a tourist development. In the middle of the Port of Aveiro, it has a privileged location over the mouth of the river Vouga, the Barra bridge and the former Air Base of São Jacinto 😊

Originally this avenue gathered most of the codfish industry of the region. Nowadays it still has some companies that maintain this activity and where you can see the different boats used. These are large boats that travel several miles to Greenland or Norway to bring the codfish. ☀️⛵ Here you can also discover a gem of our fishing history, the cod-fishing Argus, which is awaiting a much needed intervention. From the same family as the Santa Maria Manuela, the Sagres and the Creoula, all former codfish boats, the last survivors of the so-called Portugal "White Fleet".

Implemented in the old section of the Vouga railway line and that follows the Vouga River along 11 thousand meters. I highlight the Ponte do Poço de Santiago, architectural ex-libris of the municipality, the railway tunnels, which give the landscape a unique charm and the bucolic environment preserved by the image of the "Vouguinha", the emblematic steam train that crossed the lush landscapes of this valley.

Tipps für Reisende

Verkehrsmittel

Getting around in Aveiro ⚓🚴🚶

By boat, bike or on foot are two great ways to explore the city. If you like to get to know the city calmly, wander its streets on foot and breathe in its everyday life 😊 But if you prefer to get to know as much as possible within the limited time, opt for BUGAS (free city bikes). You can pick up your bike at the BUGA shop at Manuel Firmino Market and enjoy the ride 🚴😊 You just need an ID document.
