The sheer scale of the rock formation is a testament to nature's power, offering a perspective that is both humbling and awe-inspiring.

A unique vantage point highlights the fort's imposing architecture and its vital role in defending the coastline throughout history. Let the sea breeze carry tales of sieges and strategic maneuvers as you marvel at this imposing structure.
