Description
The fortress was built in 1736 by the military engineer Juan Martín Zermeño (later he restored the Montjüic Castle in Barcelona). This bastion in triangle-shape was, in the beginning, a place where you cannot enter, later used as a prison (the place you cannot escape), and turned into a ruin for the lack of use. Now, it is a public space open to the visitors and shapes the identity of Melilla, in the North of Africa.
