The fortress of St. Joseph is a [[Vauban]]-style [[star fort]] built between 1764 and 1782 to replace two previous fortifications located in the city. It was built to safeguard the northern extremity of Brazil and to control the [[Amazon Delta]]. It is one of the main sights of the city of Macapa.

The {{ill|Marco Zero (Macapá)|lt=''Marco Zero'' monument|pt}} was built to mark the position of the [[equator]] in the city and to show the passage of the sun. At the spring and the autumn [[equinox]] the sun rises and sets on the line of the equator and shines on the monument along the Avenue Equatorial, which runs for a mile due east of it.

The stadium has a maximum capacity of 10,000 people and was built in 1990.
