The Mother of God Fort is a historic fortification dating back to the 16th century. Initially an interior defense of the city, it lost strategic importance over the centuries. The site includes a hermitage under the invocation of the Mother of God. During the First World War, the fort played a defensive role against German submarines, and today it retains traces of this military history.
