    The Carvoeiro Fort, originally called the Forte de Nossa Senhora da Encarnação, is a military monument located next to the Carvoeiro cliff. Built in the 1670s to protect the coastline, it was severely damaged by the 1755 earthquake. It was rebuilt in 1796, but fell into decline in the 19th century and was closed by 1861. In 1871, it acquired new functions as a tax guard. Of the old fortress, only part of the wall, the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Encarnação and some buildings, which were part of the tax post, remain.
