The fortress was built in 859 on the site of a Byzantine fortress that used to stand here. The 30-meter Fata Tower was named after its creator and is one of the oldest towers in North Africa. The tower offers good panoramic views. The Fata tower still serves as a lighthouse. Part of the fortress is today occupied by the municipal prison.
