Built by Philip II of Spain (Philip I of Portugal), it is in the shape of an irregular star with six points. ´
The interior originally included the Governor’s Residence and other military buildings, but it was completely changed to accommodate one of Portugal’s Pousadas in the wake of a fierce fire that destroyed almost all the interior structures.
A small baroque chapel, completely covered with glazed tiles dated 1736, signed by Policarpo Oliveira Bernardes, still remains.
