area of six miles in circumference, controlled towering bulwarks,
three magazines, five prisons, a chapel and quarters for the
guard. It had 53 guns and a garrison with 4 officers, and
was an important fortress on the western coast. Unfortunately,
except the chapel and a portion of the boundary wall, little
is left of this fort.
