The Museum of the Armed Forces, located within the historic Fortaleza de São Miguel in Luanda, Angola, offers a deep dive into the country's military history. Established in 1975, shortly after Angola's independence, the museum houses a diverse collection of military artifacts, including aircraft, combat vehicles, and weapons from key conflicts like the Angolan War of Independence, the South African Border War, and the Angolan Civil War. The museum's location in the 16th-century São Miguel fort adds another layer of historical significance, once serving as a center for administration and the slave trade.

It is always overwhelming entering this magnificent 19 century fortress built by the Portuguese during the colonialism in Angola. There lies the Jeep, still with bullet holes, that the first president of Angola was running for his life.
