Located in the historic Fort of São Sebastião, this museum showcases life during the colonial era and also has a collection of local religious art.
São Sebastião Museum is a museum, housed in a 16th-century fortress in the city of São Tomé, São Tomé and Príncipe. It lies in the northeastern part of the city centre, at the southeastern end of Ana Chaves Bay. It contains religious art and colonial-era artifacts. The fortress was built in 1566 by the Portuguese in order to protect the port and city of São Tomé against pirate attacks. A lighthouse was established in the fortress in 1866; it was rebuilt in 1928. The fortress was restored at the end of the 1950s.

Catedral de São Tomé
A Roman Catholic cathedral, parts of the building date back to the 15th century, but since then significant alterations have been done, including in 1956, when the church was remodeled in an eclectic revival style, with a neo-romanesque main façade.
