Located on the islet of Ínsua, in the parish of Moledo, it has been classified as a National Monument since 1910. This islet was initially occupied by a Franciscan community in the 14th century, when they built the convent of Santa Maria da Ínsua.

The first fortress must also date from this period, but of which nothing remains. The fortress as we know it today dates from the 17th century, from the reign of King João IV.
The irregular star plant fort, with five bastions and revelim, is part of the Franciscan convent, expanded in 1676. Source: https://www.cm-caminha.pt/
