Descripción del sitio
Fort Peñon was built by the Spanish occupiers in 1302 on a small set of Islands just off the coast of the city. This fort offered many benefits to Spanish and Andalusian traders and its building increased the economy and commerace of the city. After the Spanish had been forced out of Algiers the Peñon was destroyed and turned into a lighthouse. Eventually the island that the Peñon was built on was connected to the mainland during the construction of the ports.http://historic-cities.huji.ac.il/algeria/algiers/maps/braun_hogenberg_II_59_b.jpg
