Monte Serrat, one of the two original forts, also offers beautiful views of the city. It was occupied by the Dutch twice. Shaped like an irregular hexagon, the fort is at Boa Viagem, on a hill on the west side of Itapagipe Peninsula. During the Dutch invasions, it provided cross fire with Santo Antônio. It has changed names several times and is sometimes referred to as Forte São Felipe.
From this fort you can look across the bay and see Lower Town, the cliffs of Upper Town with its church spires and, beyond the historic town, the modern high-rise buildings of the city. There are other forts interspersed around the city and its environs.
