La fortalesa de Valença data de finals del segle XII i principis del XIII. La seva finalitat era defensar la ciutat i el pas del riu.
En el marc de la Guerra de Restauració per la Independència de Portugal, aquest fort veí va ser completament renovat a partir del segle XVII segons un disseny del francès Miguel de l'Ècole.
D'aquesta manera es van reconstruir les muralles i es van aixecar noves estructures abaluartades, entre les quals:
- la cridada Coroada , amb tres baluards (Santa Ana, Són Jerônimo i Santa Bárbara) i dos mitjans baluards (Són José i Sant Antônio);
Es van obrir noves rases, sobre les quals es van construir dics d'alleujament;
- revellins per defensar unes cortines
- set nous bastions , a saber: Carmo, Esperança, Faro, Lapa, Són Francisco, Són João i Socors.
