Description

Forte da Casa er en by og tidligere kommune i Portugal. Kendt er dens fæstningsanlæg fra det tidlige 19. århundrede, som her er helliget et museum.

Som øverste leder af den portugisisk-britiske forsvar mod de napoleonske invasioner lod den britiske general Arthur Wellesley, den senere hertug af Wellington, i 1810 opføre en linje af 152 fæstninger, linjerne ved Torres Vedras. I området for den senere kommune Forte da Casa lå nogle af disse fæstninger, som tilhørte den anden fæstningsring af linjerne ved Torres Vedras. En større fæstning som garnison blev samtidig opført med reduiten Reduto da Serra da Albueira. Den ansvarlige major Brandão de Sousa gav garnisonsfæstningen navnet Forte Da Caza. Fra denne fæstning udviklede den nuværende by sig.
