Fuerte de Isla Verde, Military fortress in Algeciras, Spain.
The triangular fortification constructed on Isla Verde features three distinct batteries positioned to control maritime access routes in the Bay of Gibraltar.
Built in 1734 under engineer Juan de Subreville's plans, the fort underwent modifications in 1745 by Lorenzo de Solís to enhance its defensive capabilities.
The fort represents Spanish coastal defense architecture, with its strategic position controlling maritime routes between the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.
Public guided tours of the fortress depart from Sancti Petri marina and Muelle de Gallineras in San Fernando, costing 22 euros per person.
The fortress contained three specialized batteries: Algeciras Battery with four guns, Main Battery with thirteen cannons, and San García Battery with two artillery pieces.
