Fortress, Peniche, Portugal
Peniche is a coastal fishing town with a population of about 15,000 built on a rocky peninsula and best known for its high waves which attract surfers from all over.
The coastal fortress dates from the 16th century, but more recently served as a prison when Salazar was dictator of Portugal. Now it has been converted to the Municipal Museum of Peniche.
