In Saint Vicent chapel, that gave name to the fort, the Lines of Torres Interpretation Center allows you to understand the central role of the Torres Lines in 1810 for the Anglo-Portuguese troop’s victory over the French through new approaches on the subject that will allow a greater enjoyment of the patrimony, thanks to the "in loco" interpretation.

The nave and main chapel are reserved for the exhibition nuclei with some museum pieces, infographics, models, audio, audiovisual and multimedia resources.

In the auditorium you can watch a film / documentary, presenting an historical overview on those days, highlighting the 3rd French invasion of the Portuguese territory, commanded by General Massena, the exile of the population and the north of Lisbon defensive system, protecting the access to the capital, Lisbon.

In one of the main military structures of that defensive system, this infrastructure is part of the network of interpretive centers of the Historical Route of the Lines of Torres (RHLT): Arruda dos Vinhos; Loures; Mafra; Sobral de Monte Agraço; and Vila Franca de Xira.
