The 'Castillo de San Antonio' was a fortress built in the 17th century in the port of the city and is considered to be the origin of the village of Fornells.
From the building only a few remains are preserved. After the island had returned to Spain, it was mostly cleared away.

If you have already seen typical Spanish or Portuguese fortresses from that time, you can really save yourself the trip, at most useful as a bycatch to the Torre. The name of the fortress is Castell Sant Antoni
