Garcia d'Ávila Tower House
The Tower House of Garcia d'Avila, also known as the Castelo de Garcia d'Ávila, Forte de Garcia d'Ávila, is a 17th-century building complex in Mata de São João, Bahia, Brazil. It was constructed in the present-day settlement of Praia do Forte, 1,200 metres from a small natural harbor on the Atlantic coast. Tomé de Sousa, the first governor-general of Brazil, appointed his son Garcia de Sousa d'Ávila to build a fortress on the Bahia coast.
