Maputo Fortress

The Fort Nossa Senhora da Conceição of Lourenço Marques, nowadays known as the Maputo Fortress (Fortaleza de Maputo) is located at Praça 25 de Junho and represents one of the main historical monuments of the city of Maputo, former Lourenço Marques, in Mozambique.

It has a square floor plan, built in reddish stone masonry. It has only one access gate that opens onto a central courtyard, also with a square layout, to which, in turn, the various rooms that make up the building open. In this courtyard currently stands the equestrian statue of Mouzinho de Albuquerque, which, before the Independence of Mozambique, stood in front of the Municipality of Lourenço Marques.

It houses a statue of Mouzinho de Albuquerque. Here also lie the mortal remains of Gungunhana, transferred from Terceira Island, in the Azores, in 1985.
