One of Rio de Janeiro’s oldest landmarks, the São João Fort (Fortaleza de São João) dates back to 1565. Established by Estácio de Sá—who was also the founder of Rio de Janeiro—the fort is one of several that protected the city for centuries. It is still an active military site today and offers dramatic views of the water.
