Fort of El Desnarigado, Military fortress in Ceuta, Spain.
The Fort of El Desnarigado stands on Mount Hacho's southern front, featuring six-meter-high towers crowned with battlements and Habsburg monarchy coat of arms.
Built in the nineteenth century to replace a previous military structure from the late seventeenth century, the fort served as a vital defensive position.
The fortress transformed into the Military History Museum of Ceuta in 1984, preserving numerous artifacts that document the region's military heritage.
Located at the seaside of Torrecilla in northeast Ceuta, the fort contains 1,280 square meters of exhibition space accessible to visitors.
The structure includes front and lateral bodies that run parallel to the coastline, providing strategic views across the Strait of Gibraltar.
