The Forte do Bom Sucesso, with its rich history dating back to the late 18th century, stands near the iconic Torre de Belém in Lisbon. Initially constructed for the defense of the city, it has witnessed various historical events, including the French occupation and the Portuguese Colonial War. Today, it honors the memory of soldiers as the National Monument to the Overseas Combatants and houses the Museu do Combatente, offering a poignant glimpse into Portugal's past military endeavors.
