Geocaching HQ Admin:
Mob caches were published as an experiment using specific technology that required players to be in the same place and to enter a code at the same time to learn the final coordinates. This was an exception to the guidelines at the time and is not a publishable concept today.

The original site used for this purpose has been removed, and therefore, HQ has decided to archive all active caches originally intended to be solved using this method. Due to privacy laws, we are not seeking an alternative site at this time. We are respectfully requesting that the cache owner please remove the cache container and contents as soon as possible.

PT:

A Fortaleza de São Filipe foi construído durante a ocupação espanhola, com início em 1582, no reinado de Filipe I, como forma de reforçar a defesa de Setúbal contra a pirataria, que já desde o reinado de D. Afonso IV, era preocupação, e este rei iniciou por volta de 1350, a construção das primeiras defesas da cidade.

Com a restauração da independência, em 1640, D. João IV manda ampliar as defesas e a sua adaptação ao uso de artilharia. No século XIX um incêndio destruiu a casa do comando.

Já no século XX, classificado como Monumento Nacional, a Direcção-Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais, fez obras de restauro e o forte foi adaptado para funcionar como pousada.

No interior do forte, além da antiga casa do governador, agora pousada, existe também uma capela com a particularidade de ser totalmente revestida de azulejos, de Policarpo de Oliveira Bernardes.
