"Fortaleza's history began when the Dutch constructed the Fort Schoonenborch in 1649. Later, the Portuguese expelled the Dutch and renamed it to Forte de Nossa Senhora da Assunção. Around the fort, which even today is in perfect conservation state, a small village grew into the fifth largest city in Brazil today."
