The British Cook House was built around the middle of the 19th century, during the period of British Protection (1814-1864), along with the construction of the adjacent barracks. Its shape is rectangular and adjoins the southern sea walls of the fortress. It is located about three meters below the southern plateau of the fortress, with which it communicates with two staircases.

Its façade is made of carefully carved stone blocks with rhythmic openings; four doors with two windows on both sides and an elliptical skylight. Its interior is divided into four halls that communicate with each other and are roofed with semi-cylindrical domes made of solid bricks.

From the metal stoves only the metal ducts as well as their flues in the southern wall are preserved. In the western hall there are ovens.

The flat roof was a cannon emplacement, to which an inclined plane (ramp) leads. North of the building two roofless buildings are preserved, which originally functioned as warehouses. Today there is an oven in the western one.
