Built by the Spaniards in 1698 and restored between 1839 and 1845, this impressive brick structure saw military service up through the Civil War. It was captured by the French, then the British, reclaimed by Spain and finally became an American installation. Enter by way of drawbridge into a meticulously restored scarp gallery. Well worth the visit!
