Fortress of the 17th and 18th centuries built on a rocky islet at the western end of La Caleta. You reach it on foot along a long path over the sea, with the ocean on both sides, up to its low walls and its enclosure of bastions. The San Sebastián lighthouse stands next to it. It defended the sea approach to Cádiz and offers one of the most open views of the Atlantic from the city.
