The Fort of São Tiago (Portuguese: Fortaleza de São Tiago) is a historic military fort located in the historical centre (Zona Velha) of Funchal, Madeira. Constructed in the early 17th century, the fort was built to protect the island against pirate attacks and foreign invasions. The fort is notable for its prominent yellow walls, which contrast with the surrounding architecture, and its strategic position overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
