Castle of Palma, Military fortification in Mugardos, Spain
The Castle of Palma stands at the entrance of Ferrol estuary, featuring a rectangular structure with four bastions at its corners and thick stone walls.
The Spanish military built this maritime defense fortress between 1595 and 1603 to protect the Ferrol harbor from English and Dutch naval attacks.
The castle represents Spanish military architecture from the 16th century, displaying characteristics of Renaissance fortification design with Italian influences.
