This pentagon-shaped castle, which is nowadays a pousada, dates back to 1567. It belonged to the former defensive structure of Horta bay that had over 20 fortresses, most of them have already vanished. The main materials used in the construction of the castle were: basalt in the walls and volcanic tuff in the battlements and bartizans. In the interior, the great highlight is the chapel dedicated to Saint Anthony (built in the 17th century), no longer used for religious celebrations. (National Monument)
