The Castillo de Santo Antón Archaeological and Historical Museum is located in an old fortress built in the 16th century. From the 16th to the 18th centuries it was a defensive building and a prison, later it was used as a pesthouse to isolate sailors who arrived in the city affected by an infectious disease.
