Summary

Description

O Forte de Nossa Senhora das Salvas (ou de Salas), popularmente denominado como Forte do Revelim, no Alentejo, localiza-se na cidade Freguesia e Concelho de Sines, Distrito de Setúbal, em Portugal. Situado no cabo de Sines, no extremo Oeste da baía, tinha como função a vigia da costa, cooperando com o Castelo de Sines na defesa da vila contra os ataques dos corsários e dos piratas então frequentes naquele litoral. Ao avistar alguma embarcação suspeita, a sua artilharia dava salvas, convocando os moradores válidos à defesa e a população em geral para se refugiar. Foi construído no século XVII, com projeto do arquiteto Alexandre Massai, altura em que foram construídas outras fortalezas com a mesma função ao longo da costa portuguesa. Esteve guarnecido até 1844. Encontra-se classificado como Imóvel de Interesse Público pelo Decreto nº 95, de 12 de Setembro de 1978.

Características

Forte marítimo, em estilo maneirista, apresenta planta rectangular, com casamata e bateria. Atualmente, o parapeito que envolve a bateria e o terraço da casamata já não mostra as primitivas canhoneiras. <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forte_de_Nossa_Senhora_das_Salvas" rel="nofollow">pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forte_de_Nossa_Senhora_das_Salvas</a>
