Castillo de San Sebastián, Maritime fortress in Cádiz, Spain
The Castle of San Sebastián stands on a small island at the end of La Caleta beach, connected to the city by a stone causeway along the sea.
Construction of the castle began in 1706 to create a fortified structure protecting the northern flank of Cádiz, replacing a chapel established by Venetian sailors in 1457.
The fortress, declared a Cultural Heritage Site in 1993, houses regular exhibitions and concerts that strengthen its connection to the local community.
Visitors can access the castle daily from 09:00 to 13:00 for an entrance fee of 2 euros by walking along the Paseo Fernando Quiñones causeway.
The castle includes a 41-meter-high electric lighthouse from 1908, built upon the foundation of an ancient Moorish watchtower.
