( 282 620 140; adult/child €3/1.50; 9.30am-8pm May-Sep, 9.30am-5.30pm Oct-Apr) Blank, hulking and
prisonlike, Sagres' fortress has a forbidding front wall balanced by two mighty bastions.
Inside, a few buildings dot the vast, open expanse, but otherwise a visit here is mostly
about the striking views over the sheer cliffs, and all along the coast to Cabo de São Vi-
cente.
Splash out on the printed guide (€1, in English) that's sold at the entrance.
Inside the gate is a curious, huge stone pattern that measures 43m in diameter. Named
the rosa dos ventos OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP (literally, 'wind rose'), this strange paving pattern
