SANTA ANA ACASAMATADA BATTERY
This fortification is located on the coastline, on the ledge called Santa Ana. It is easily accessible through the road from the harbour to Escombreras dock.
It was originally a fort at the beginning of 18th century, but it was later rebuilt, according to the O'Donnell's Plan, shaped as a castle, with a large number of loopholes for rifle fire.
Nowadays, it conserves most of its structure, walls, enclosures, presenting an external aspect that resembles a castle, hence its name of Santa Ana Castle. The casemates are built with concrete, buried with their vaults artillery-proof, and their surface coated with earth.
It was declared Heritage of Cultural Interest, in accordance with current second additional provision of 16/1985 of Spanish Historical Heritage Act.
