Forte Săo Luiz - Rio de Janeiro
A 230 metros de altura, no morro do Pico, com entrada pelo Forte Barao do Rio Branco, estao plantadas as ruinas do conjunto arquitetonico que, no seculo XVIII, abrigou as fortificacoes do Pico ou Sao Luiz.
Em 1715, da-se inicio a construcao do Forte do Pico, que tem suas instalacoes inspecionadas, em 1762, pelo Marques do Lavradio, considerando-se o Forte em condicoes de funcionamento em 1770. Em 1775 e fundado, sob ordem do mesmo marques, o Forte de Sao Luiz, que tem sobre o portao de entrada, o seguinte distico: "Josepho I. Imperante, Fidel.mo Portugaliae Rege, Provident.mo Principe, Arx Haec, Divo Aloisio Sacrata. Fundata est. 1775".Em 1891, na mesma epoca da desativacao das fortificacoes brasileiras, os dois fortes sao ligados, passando a constituir um unico conjunto, hoje denominado Forte do Pico ou de Sao Luiz, indiferentemente.
Essa fortificacao, dada sua altura e localizacao, protegia a entrada da barra, toda a Baia de Guanabara e a Fortaleza de Santa Cruz de possiveis ataques. Sua acao militar mais conhecida, entretanto, ocorre ja na Republica, por ocasiao de rebeliao liberada pelo 2? Sargento Silverio Macedo, em 1? de Janeiro de 1892, com o objetivo de restituir o governo a Deodoro da Fonseca. As tropas rebeladas tomam a Fortaleza de Santa Cruz, libertam os prisioneiros, tomam posse dos canhoes e de todo o armamento e prendem os oficiais, passando a atirar contra a Fortaleza de Laje. Do Forte do Pico saem dois batalhoes que dominam os revoltosos, ja bombardeados, por mar, pelos navios comandados pelo proprio Ministro da Marinha, Almirante Custodio de Melo. Mais tarde, este Almirante lidera a Revolta da Armada, sendo derrotado exatamente pelas tropas da Fortaleza de Santa Cruz e Forte do Pico, que se mantiveram fieis ao governo republicano de Floriano Peixoto.
Em 1918, sendo Presidente da Republica Wenceslau Braz, foi concluida a construcao de outra fortificacao, na parte mais elevada do morro, contando com modernos e eficientes obuseiros de 280 milimetros, importados da Alemanha, mas considerados, ja em 1965, obsoletos, tendo sido o Forte desativado.
Atualmente, as construcoes do Pico ainda preservam com imponencia e grandiosidade guaritas e muros de pedra ja cobertos de vegetacao, dois imponentes portoes de acesso, corredores, galerias e tuneis carregados de misterio e largos patios rochosos. Do alto do Pico, avista-se, de um lado, Fortaleza de Santa Cruz, o Morro da Urca e o Pao-de-Acucar, e de outro, o Forte do Imbui e a infinitude atlantica, numa visao absolutamente deslumbrante.
