The Fortaleza Nossa Senhora da Conceição located on the waterfront covers 3,000m2. Built in 1791 by the Portuguese to defend the colony, it was enlarged in 1851 to its present form (the replica dates from 1940). Built in red sandstone, it is reinforced by ramparts. In its courtyard, there are two frescoes: the prison from the time of Gugunhana and the battle between the king of Gaza and the settlers, and period cannons. Inside, an exhibition of paintings and carved wooden figurines retrace the history of Mozambique. Temporary exhibitions.

J'aime l'apparence extérieure mais à l'intérieur...
La citadelle portugaise a vu le vieux roi local être emprisonné et envoyé au Portugal où il mourra plus tard. en fait le corps sera renvoyé à Maputo dans un sarcophage (conservé dans la citadelle) sculpté par un artiste local
