In 1703, the Forte Defensor was built to protect the city's important commercial warehouses. Six cannons were installed. A subsequent economic decline of the region left the fort in ruins until 1822. When it was reconstructed, it was dedicated to Emperor Dom Pedro I. The area around the fort is referred to as the "Old Village" and may have been the first nucleus of the town began.
