The fort of Bernia, built in 1562 by the royal engineer Juan Bautista Antoneli, was a clear and magnificent example of Ottoman Renaissance military architecture on the coast. In 1612, and due to its ineffectiveness, being far from the coast, King Philip III ordered its demolition.
From the fort, the arches, the moat, the bastion, the cistern, and the remains of the walls can still be seen. Its extent was 10 meters long by 110 meters wide. It has been declared B.I.C. (Bien de Interés Cultural) since 1997.
Explanatory panels show its former functioning and use.
