Somewhat hidden in a hollow, on the edge of Cabanas, is a well-preserved fort.

The Fortaleza Sao Joao da Barra, as the fortress of Cabanas is actually called, is an imposing structure on the outskirts of the town. It represents a quadrangular, star-shaped plant with four bastions, each of which has access ramps. A chapel dedicated to St. John the Baptist is consecrated and two houses and a well are located in the inaccessible interior.
