The Fort of São Julião da Barra (formerly called the Fort or Tower of São Gião) is the largest and most complete military defense complex in the Vauban style remaining in Portugal. It is located in São Julião da Barra, at the tip of São Gião, in the westernmost part of Oeiras, in the parish of Oeiras and São Julião da Barra, Paço de Arcos and Caxias.

Considered in the past as the Shield of the Kingdom, it is the largest maritime fortification in the country. Originally, together with the Fort of São Lourenço do Bugio, with which it cooperated, it had the function of controlling the entry and exit of vessels at the mouth of the Tagus and access to the port of Lisbon.

It is currently the official residence of the Minister of National Defense of Portugal.
