Fuerte de San Salvador, Coastal fort in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain.
The rectangular fortress stands at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, featuring stone walls, guard posts, and strategic cannon positions facing the sea.
King Felipe IV ordered the construction of this defensive structure in 1627 to protect the port of Bonanza from frequent pirate attacks.
The fortress earned the name Castillo de la Pantisa in the 19th century when an elderly woman in black clothing made it her residence.
Visitors can access the fortress remains free of charge from Bonanza beach or through a path from Barriada de Los Marineros.
The fort contained only four artillery positions, which limited its defensive capabilities and contributed to its early abandonment as a military structure.
