On April 21, 1999 Brazil issued this stamp on the occasion of the site of
the first day ceremony. This Fort, part
of the historic heritage with more than 400 years presents several different architectonic
styles that range from the Mannerism to the Baroque and reaches the contemporary style
through its several restorations works. The angle explored by the stamp shows the
Fort’s walls, the sentry boxes, the chapel dedicated to Santo Amaro and the
Headquarters. The complex is located among the rocks by the great green station that forms
the Goes Hill and by the blue sea. On the foreground there is the Blomefield cannon of the
19th century.
