The Nossa Senhora da Graça Fort, officially Conde de Lippe Fort and known historically as La Lippe, is a fort in the village of Alcáçova, about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of the town of Elvas in the Portalegre District of Portugal.
It stands in a dominant position on the Monte da Graça (Hill of Grace) and forms part of the Garrison Border Town of Elvas and its Fortifications, which on 30 June 2012 was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In 2014, the fort became part of a new project under the aegis of the Portuguese Ministry of National Defence, with the support of Turismo de Portugal (Portuguese Tourism), which features historical itineraries based on Portuguese heroes.
