The Fortaleza is located at the end of Las Damas Street. The statue in front of the building depicts Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés, governor of the fortress from 1533 to 1557, and author of Historia General y Natural de las Indias. The statue was imported from Salamanca, Spain in 1977, and was made by the artist Joaquín Vaquero Turcio. The central tower of the building is 18-meter high, with walls 2-meter thick.

The cement holding the stoned walls together is a mixture of gypsum, clay, lime and the blood of animals.
