Forte do Cao, Caminha, Portugal

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Portugal's Fort of Cão is an example of a bastion-type fortification design that was common in Early Modern Europe, when older medieval era forts became obsolete due to advances in artillery technology.  Seen in this drone video by AirVuz contributor jlcarrasco.bicisydrones, it's located in the Viana do Castelo District in the far northwestern part of the country.  The fortress was completed around the turn of the 17th century, one of a series of coastal positions built to protect the country's northern border with Spain.
