    Almádena fort is a ruin dating from the 16th century. It was built to protect the fishermen from the pirates that plagued the area. Today, the fort is open to the public and offers a lovely view of the coast.

        The fortress withstood the earthquake of 1755, but was abandoned when piracy ceased to threaten the coast.
