Less Than An Hour From The Paulist Capital, The Itapema Fort — One Of The Oldest Constructions In The State — Will Be Transformed Into A Cultural Center With A Museum, Shows, And Caiçara Gastronomy.

Itapema Fort, a construction of nearly 500 years and very close to the capital, is about to begin a new chapter in its history.

After almost five centuries, the space will come to life as a cultural center focused on art, gastronomy, tourism, and professional training.

The project, a result of a partnership between the KondZilla Institute, the City Hall of Guarujá, and organizations from the third sector, aims to revitalize the fort and transform it into a creative hub that combines tradition and innovation.

The proposal seeks to strengthen the cultural scene of Baixada Santista through courses, events, and tourist activities that recover the historical value of the region.

From Fortress To Cultural Symbol

Built in the 16th century to protect the coast of Santos, the Itapema Fort was erected on rocks by the sea and served different functions over the centuries — from a gunpowder depot to an observation post during World War II.

Abandoned after the 1950s, the site suffered from deterioration caused by time and sea air.

New Phase By 2026

The restoration work began in 2024 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. The project includes the reconstruction of the walls, new gathering areas, lighting, and accessibility.

Among the planned attractions are the Museum of Guarujá History, a gastronomic hub with caiçara cuisine, spaces for shows and exhibitions, and the KondZilla Creative Hub, which will offer training in audiovisual arts for local youth.

With the revitalization, the Itapema Fort will become a meeting point between the past and the future, consolidating itself as one of the new cultural attractions of the Paulist coast.

Bom dia Fabio

OK, interessante a matéria. Parabéns.

Gostei de saber porque frequento o Guarujá desde criança. Agora a pergunta que todos que leem a matéria se fazem: onde é exatamente fica o Forte? O jornalista esqueceu desse detalhe tão relevante. Ok é uma matéria curta, mesmo assim essa informação não deveria ser deixada de fora. Fica a dica para as próximas matérias.

Itapema é distrito de Guarujá. Na região do cais, tem barcas que atravessam o estuário para Itapema. Curiosamente, fui crismada em Itapema e, décadas depois, fui a um casamento nesse distrito No Google dá pra ver o local exato.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

A Brazilian farmer found the largest red diamond ever discovered in the world in the 1990s, weighing 5.11 carats, from a stone so rare that its color arises from extreme pressures that deform the very structure of the crystal.

Forget sapphire and topaz because there is a blue aluminum borate crystal that is worth 2 thousand dollars per carat and is only found in gem quality in the mountains of Namibia in a completely artisanal mining operation.

If the trip to the Moon were a hoax, it would be necessary to keep the secret among 400,000 people for more than 50 years and to deceive even the Soviet Union, which was tracking the radio signals coming from the exact direction of the satellite during each Apollo mission.
