About Santa Cruz Fort

A historic fort and chapel on a hilltop in Oran, on Rue Santa Cruz. The Spanish built the present fort between 1577 and 1604, and the first chapel dates from 1850. Visitors enjoy the wide view over the city and the sea, especially at sunset. A guide explains the history, and there is a play area for children.
