| Elvas, Portugal - Region of Alentejo |
If you're standing at the walls surrounding Elvas on a clear day, this 18th century fort, Forte de Nossa Senhora de Graça, can clearly be seen a kilometer away. It was strategically built on one of the higest points of the region to protect Elvas from further invasions. The fortifications of Elvas represent the best surviving example of Dutch school fortifications in the world.
The aerial view of this fort is beyond impressive! Check it out and see for yourself!
