Known as Lugar Bonito, Parque do Forte opened in 2006 with landscape design by Rosa Kliass, documented by CAU/BR. It turns the colonial fortress's surroundings into a place for strolling and viewing the Amazon.
Notice the contrast between eighteenth-century walls and paths opening towards the river. Together they reveal two layers of the city: a military complex and a contemporary public landscape. Plan the fortress interior as a separate visit; walking around the park does not cover its historic rooms. Paths and viewpoints offer different photographic perspectives without climbing on heritage structures.
History & public works
Construction, opening and renovation are different stages. These are the interventions with documented attribution.
