A fort as a fort is nothing extraordinary when it comes to architecture. An ordinary military building. I just don't know where the pink color comes from ... but the surroundings of the fort are wonderful. Ocean, green, paths. You can relax in its shade quite nicely.

It is a pity that it is closed to the public

It was closed, when we read that there would be every day. Walking around the surroundings was worth it.
