Project overview
About this development
The rehabilitation project is structured over two phases. Besides the technical assessment and preparation of the works, Phase I has focused on urgent structural consolidation and restoration works to prevent further deterioration. Phase II will concentrate on rehabilitation for reuse and the sustainable management and maintenance of the fortress. The fortified city Island of Mozambique lies 2,000 km north of the country’s capital Maputo, and occupies a once advantageous maritime position in the Indian Ocean. The most imposing monument on the island, if not the most impressive military architecture in all Africa, is Saint Sebastian Fortress (1558–1620). The island, is now linked to the mainland at Sanculo-Lumbo by a bridge.
