Blogathon Day 5: A Fortaleza (The Fort)

Ilha de Moçambique, an island off the northern coast of Mozambique, was the capital of Portuguese East Africa for hundreds of years. On it lies the fortaleza (fort) which houses Chapel of Nossa Senhora de Baluarte, the oldest European building in the Southern Hemisphere.

Creepy abandoned hallways

Beautiful tropical waters
