The Castle of Santa Catalina, located in Cádiz, Spain, is a historic fortress that dates back to the late 16th century. It was built by King Philip II in response to the attacks by Anglo-Dutch forces, which highlighted the need for stronger coastal defenses. The castle is situated on a small rocky peninsula and is characterized by its star-shaped bastions, which provided strategic defensive advantages. Over the years, it has served various roles, including a military prison.
