POINT OF INTEREST

Baluard Major

The Baluard Major is the largest in the fortress. It could hold up to eleven large-caliber mortar cannons, being one of the best artillery in the country at the time. To keep him in service he needed about seventy men.

Today, much of the bastion is in ruins, making it difficult to recognize the original building.

From this point, the basaltic stone columns are clearly visible that show the origin of the ancient medieval castle of the Viscounts of Cabrera, built on an ancient volcano.
