A Neoclassical crowned work on the Cerro de los Moros, designed by the military engineer Juan Martín Cermeño under Charles III to protect the Naval Hospital and the San José Gates. Mateo Vodopich directed the works between 1773 and 1778. It has belonged to the city council since 1929 and is in long decay.
