Castillo del Desnarigado is a fort, converted into a museum, located on the coastal edge of the southern front of Mount Hacho, in Ceuta.   t the end of the 17th century it was decided to build a small fort of which there are hardly any remains. The current castle would be built in the 19th century. The castle consists of a single floor and is made up of a front and two lateral bodies parallel to the coast. Two six-meter-high towers, crowned by battlements, flank the door on which there is a reproduction of the coat of arms of the Habsburg monarchy . The Castle was active until the beginning of the 20th century when it was progressively abandoned. Its rehabilitation and transformation into a military museum would be decided later. It was inaugurated in 1984. Since then it has collected various military objects related to the history of Ceuta.
