Located in the old San Lazaro inlet, place where pirate’s landings took place, today, it is a picturesque element in the urban landscape being inside the Antonio Maceo park and being part of the buildings of Avenida del Malecon.
It is a compacted rough stone building with a small access door, loopholes in all its perimeter and battlements in its roof.
