The citadel of Port-Louis, located on a rocky point at the entrance to the harbor of Lorient, was built from 1591 by the Spanish, under the orders of Cristobal de Rojas. Its construction was then continued by the French at the time of the establishment of the East India Company in Port-Louis in 1664 and Lorient in 1666.
