Descending from the Cerro de Santa Catalina on the western side, we find these remains of an old artillery military complex from the 17th century, called "Casa de les Pieces" or Old Fort, whose function was to defend the Santa Catalina peninsula from pirate and corsair attacks. It was recovered in 1997, although only some remnants of the walls are preserved. Next to it lies the Batería de Santa Catalina, two old cannons aimed at the sea.
