    The construction of Fort Santa Elena began in the reign of Felipe II (1527-1598) as part of the fortification of the border with France. It was partially destroyed during the War of Independence (1807 - 1814) and rebuilt between 1884 and 1889. In 1905 it was rebuilt again and has been used for civilian purposes since 1926.

    In 2004 the Ministry of Defense sold the facility to a private investor.
