The Fort of Napoleon is smaller than those of San Martín and San Carlos, because although it was thought to be the largest in the area and consisted of different buildings, it was never finished. It was a large solid work, with several buildings, built under the supervision of the Count of Cafarelli, who was the general commander of Napoleon's troops in northern Spain. Some buildings that served as accommodation for officers and soldiers and the Rouget Battery, built in 1811, are still preserved. The guard booth, unique from this period in Cantabria, is also preserved.
