This 16th-century coastal defense structure is situated on a rocky hill overlooking the sea. The fortification features three circular towers and is recognized as one of the most prominent historical sites in the area.

Historically, the fort served as a strategic passage between two major coastal points. Its position on the narrow, rocky terrain allowed for effective defense and monitoring of the surrounding waters.

Recently revitalized, the site now functions as a vibrant cultural and arts hub. It hosts various exhibitions, musical performances, and community events, serving as a venue for local heritage and contemporary arts.
