Historical building with a great value by itself, the place also offers great views for pictures and sightseeing. Many people walking and doing sports at all times. Nice place like the are that around, try to visit early morning to avoid the massive tourist but recommend. It’s a nice place to take a walk around the beach

  • Derek Sculthorpe

Appealing old lighthouse and interesting maritime museum. No café although there was a sign pointing to it. Also no wifi. Excellent views all round but the long climb to the top is rewarded by long distance view obscured by netting. The museum has some good model ships and a lovely collection of ships in bottles.

  • Ramon Sá

A fantastic nautical museum housed in a historical building, allowing you to immerse yourself in the history of Salvador and learn about seafaring and the beginnings of colonization in Brazil. The museum offers stunning views of the beach and sea, particularly from the top of the lighthouse. More

The fort/ lighthouse itself is a testament to the quality building as its still somehow standing to this day. Unfortunately I didn't make it inside so cant comment much but I did enjoy the sunset from arguably the best location in Salvador.
