Fort Barrancas and the Spanish Water Battery

A masonry fort stands high on a bluff behind a white-washed lower masonry structure.

The bluff (or barrancas) overlooking the entrance to the bay was so strategic, the Army Corps of Engineers built Fort Barrancas over the ruins of other forts built by the Spanish, French, and British as early as the late 17th century.
