Forte de Copacabana
Fort Copacabana sits at the southern tip of the beach, open to the public as the Army Historical Museum alongside the working coastal defense fort itself.
Around ten thousand visitors a month choose between a restricted visit to the outdoor grounds or a full tour that includes the fort's interior and the military history museum, making it one of the city's best-known postcard views.
