==History==
On its location an observation post was first built by the Spanish in the late 18th century. In 1802 a lighthouse replaced it and from 1809 to 1839 the fortress was built.〔 It has taken part in many historical developments and has been repeatedly taken over by various sides. The lighthouse was partially disabled in 1832 and in 1843 it was destroyed completely during Uruguay's civil war, known as the ''Guerra Grande''. On 16 July 1852 a new lighthouse was inaugurated, built on top of the older one and was considered a first order lighthouse, 148 meters above sea level. In 1906 works to improve the lighthouse started and on 18 April 1907 the modern one was inaugurated.
