Nossa Senhora de Assuncao Fort played a key defensive role during its time. Now a historic site, you can just imagine some of the spectacles its mighty walls have witnessed.

Nossa Senhora de Assuncao Fort is the perfect place to begin your discovery of Fortaleza Centro. This history-filled fortress comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow time for other attractions like Castelao Stadium, Praia do Futuro, and Iracema Beach to really enjoy what's on offer in the area.

8.2/10 Very Good! (323 reviews)

TThe area surrounding the hotel is quite dirty and filled with homeless people, making me feel unsafe. Dining at the hotel's three-part restaurant, I was charged 9 reais for a cup of hot water, which is ridiculous. However, the rooms are okay. I would not choose to stay here again. But it's suitable for a short trip.
