The Royal Fort of San Felipe, also referred to as the Royal Fortress of San Felipe or simply as Ciudadela, is located on top of the Achada de San Felipe, in the city of Ribeira Grande, now Ciudad Vieja.

The fort was erected in the context of the Philippine Dynasty, after the assaults of the English corsair Francis Drake in 1578 and on November 17, 1585, with the function of defending the city and its anchorage. The works began in 1587 and were completed in 1593, by the military engineer João Nunes and with the design of the military architect Filipe Terzio.
