Fortín de Reina Regente, Melilla, Military fortress in Melilla, Spain.

The Fortín de Reina Regente features a dodecagonal base on its first level and a round second level topped with battlements.

Built between 1884 and 1885, this fortification served as a defensive structure against Riffian attacks in the Reina Regente area and Hidum Valley.

The fort received recognition as a Cultural Heritage Site in 1990, representing the military architecture of Spanish fortifications in North Africa.

Located near the Millan Astray Barracks on Via Lactea Road, the fort maintains its original stone walls and solid brick arches for visitors to examine.

The 1982 renovation replaced the original wooden floors with concrete vaults supported by iron beams while preserving the neo-medieval architectural style.
