imego This is the only one I could find in the Strengthening, if anyone has any more would be appreciated shipment.
The oldest building made by the English in the African continent, the Tower-factory in Santa Cruz de la Mar Pequeña.
A small fort that served as well as factory and warehouse in Cape workers, currently in Morocco.
This fortification, with walls of uniform thickness in some places exceeded two meters, was built in the fifteenth century by the nobleman Diego García de Herrera, who would become Lord of the Canaries Minor.
During the sixteenth century suffered several attacks that damaged the structure, but seems to have been built.
1764, and with that passion that the English have to push around what is not theirs, and the English authorities (whoever they are and whenever) to "pass" that can not benefit himself, is the agency.
not until 1860, after the victory of Spain in the War of Africa, which, by the treaty of Wad Ras was "rediscovered" the fortification. Again
forgotten, and only lost by some archaeologists excavated, comes the news that the sand has been "swallowed" up to the point of the tower, which had been documented as eight meters high, just stick around spans the best of cases.
seems that very few years such fortification will be buried and forgotten by all (it already is ...)
few Western nations spend more on backing the English history. Clearly, for Spain this fortification a damn ... and Morocco and say no. And be of English origin.
