Cape Matifou Fort (Bordj Tamanfoust)

Built by 'Ramdhan Agha' in 1661, under the reign of 'Ismail Pasha', it underwent modifications in 1685, under 'Mezzo Morto', after the French bombardments carried out by 'Duquesne' in 1682 and 1683. The Bordj was octagonal in shape, its wall reached 09 meters in height with a slight inclination on the end. Access to this Fort, which was surrounded by a moat, was via a wooden bridge.
This Fort included 22 cannons, one on the side where the door opens, three on each of the other seven. These pieces ensured the protection of the flank and the harbor.
