Building this fortified complex, began in the second half of the 17th century and includes two fortified structures of the epoch and a stretch  from a previous fortification.

Access to the inner city is through the first fortified structure. This fortified block has a large long moat and ends in an arrowhead shape. The upper structure is dominated by several forts and buttresses.

The second fortified structure is formed by two half buttresses connected  by a stretch of wall. At the far west end it is attached to the 14th century wall, which is separated from the 17th century complex.
