Cool place to see, lots of used old military equipment on display including aircraft and debris of a helicopter, plenty of nice statues, some murals, good views at Luanda skyline. Entry was 350 Kwanza.

Historical point of interest that contains a military museum and a restaurant. The building is quite imposing and has an impressive view of the bay of Luanda. The museum was closed because of COVID.

Must visit place. Not only a local museum but great observation deck from where you can observe Luanda. Amazing view on the bay. Enjoyed walking around and see all these guns and military equipment. Place is almost always empty. I met only few guys browsing around. Entrance fee is next to nothing. 100 kwanza which is less that 25 cents. Guys, you can do entrance fee a 1000 kwanza easily, at least for the foreigners. And it would still be very affordable price. Sunbed at the privet beach cost 1500. Anyway, highly recommend! For those who doesn’t like museums, trust me, the view from the fort is outstanding!

Must go to learn about key moment of Angola’s history, such as colonial era, Independence War and Civil War.

It is beautiful fort, with working bathrooms, and some conference rooms in the inside. The local guide was very knowledgeable, however, he could not speak English so we needed to bring our own translator.

Bags are not allowed inside, so we kept them inside the security guards rooms during the tour.

Amazing views from the fort top. You will see both versions of Luanda from a single point with highrise modern architectural buildings to the right & an unorganised settlements on the left, both with a fascinating sea front views..
You can see beautiful sunset from this point..

I will recommend the place because the interesting for understanding more about Angola and him culture. Since was discovered Angola had different periods in his history to build the current situation in the country. In the museum you will found the important information from the colonisation till Agostinho Neto all about the Internal war and a beautiful views to the city. To arrive you will need a car o walking depending from where you come. I recommend to come with a bottle of water because doesn't have a coffeeshop. The price to come into is cheaper and the treatment is nice

It's my 3rd time visiting here and the scenery on top of the fort overlooking the bay and Ilha da Luanda is simply amazing.

Not so much on the artillery and war weapons artifacts though, but i would rate is as OK.

Beautiful tiles in the museum. Good view of the city. One side of the view is the high rises and the other is the poor housing area. So you see both sides of this interesting city.

This place is a must place to be visited in Luanda, you can have view of all Luanda - 360 degrees. This place now is a museum but for the local, they didn't know much about this place, they thought this place is a military barack. Entrance fee is 100AKz, bring the exact amount.

Great place to visit. You’ll find the whole military history of Angola, honorable generals in different times, the vehicles used at war against colonization, the statues of the Portuguese conquistador, the room of the first president of Angola in a very overwhelming atmosphere.
