Fuerte de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
Fuerte de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Military fortification on Mount Jaizkibel in Hondarribia, Spain.
The octagonal fortress extends over 30,000 square meters, featuring a 750-meter-long moat protected by five strategic defense structures called caponeras.
The fort, inaugurated in 1900, formed part of the Oyarzun Entrenched Camp, a 19th-century military defense system designed to prevent invasions from France.
The fortress represents a prime example of polygonal fort architecture, combining military engineering with territorial defense strategies of the early 20th century.
Visitors can explore the fortress through guided tours organized by the Arma Plaza Foundation, which manages public access to this heritage site.
The fort includes three distinct sectors with artillery systems, circular emplacements, and a three-story building designed for various operational functions.
