The Fort of Bèrnia, built in 1562 by the royal engineer Juan Bautista Antoneli, was a clear and magnificent exponent of the Renaissance military architecture of the Ottomans on the coast. In 1612, and given its ineffectiveness due to its distance from the coast, King Philip III ordered its demolition.

Of the Fort you can still see the arches, the moat, the bastion, the cistern and the remains of the walls. Its extension was 10 meters long by 110 meters wide. It is declared B.I.C. (Asset of Cultural Interest) since 1997.

The explanatory panels show the former functioning and use of the Fort.

A great light hike. The trail is easy and short even if you leave on foot from Altea as I did. Just make sure to chosse a shady day, because the part thought the fields is extremely exposed with no shade.

The fort is phenomenal. It is not a well preserved structure and that's exactly what makes it so special. It's mystical and epic at the same time. Usually, there aren't many people, so you will most likely be alone there. And if you are like most explorers at heart you will have a blast.

There are also many picnic spot along the way. Just mind there are no water sources along the way.

It is easily reached from Les Cases de Bernia, and the views are very beautiful.
