Summary

This image contains digital watermarking or credits in the image itself. The usage of visible watermarks is discouraged. If a non-watermarked version of the image is available, please upload it under the same file name and then remove this template. Ensure that removed information is present in the image description page and replace this template with {{Metadata from image}} or {{Attribution metadata from licensed image}}.

Caution: Before removing a watermark from a copyrighted image, please read the WMF's analysis of the legal ramifications of doing so, as well as Commons' proposed policy regarding watermarks.

If the old version is still useful, for example if removing the watermark damages the image significantly, upload the new version under a different title so that both can be used. After uploading the non-watermarked version, replace this template with {{Superseded|new filename|version without watermarks}}.

English: Plan of the projected Fort São João Baptista de Ajudá (Ouidah, Benin), drawn at the end of 1721 by Joseph de Torres (José Torres) who built the fort in November 1721. He placed the fort under the protection of Our Lady of Deliverance (Nossa Senhora do Livramento) and named it Cesarea in honour the the viceroy of Brazil, Vasco Fernandez Cesar, who had authorized the creation of the fort. The fort soon became known by the name of the saint for whom its chapel was dedicated: Saint John the Baptist (São João Baptista).
