It could contain up to eleven large-caliber guns and three mortars, being one of the best guns in the country at the time. To keep him in service he needed about seventy men. Today, much of the bastion is in ruins, making it difficult to recognize the original building. From this point, the basaltic stone columns are clearly visible that show the origin of the ancient medieval castle of the Viscounts of Cabrera, built on an ancient volcano.
