Peniche Fort Square, a national monument since 1938, Peniche Fort (also called fortress or citadel), is the main fortification of this defensive complex. It is located on the southern slope of the Peniche Peninsula. Currently, the fortress houses the Resistance and Freedom Museum, under the Ministry of Culture, and the City Museum, which is managed by the Peniche City Council.
During the Estado Novo Regime, it functioned in the space of Fortaleza de Peniche, between 1934 and April 1974, a political prison housing several opponents of the political regime led by Oliveira Salazar and Marcelo Caetano.
Peniche was the most important fascist prison on the continent, usually intended for political prisoners serving a sentence and in which an extremely severe prison regime was in place.
