The official name of this fort built on the 15th century is St. Francisco Xavier Fort but everyone know this building by the nick name of Castelo do Queijo (Cheese Castle). The origin of this nick name is because the fort was built on a rock with a shape of a cheese

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Nice shot of this imposing fort.... In Hyannis on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, there is a Catholic church named Saint Francis Xavier Church, which President Kennedy attended when he and his family were on the Cape. And in the desert in Arizona there is a beautiful mission church called San Xavier Del Bac...

Nice capture of this very old fortress Manuel! I was wondering what the man was doing in the bottom left - he seems to have his hands over his ears - was someone firing a canon somewhere? lol!

ps apologies for the lack of comments - I have not been spending so much time lately as I am sorting out my house to sell it. :)
