Evening return to Port Vendres

Taken from the lighthouse path.
Spectacular view. I love the colours of the buildings against the landscape. ....and looks like some ruins of a fort or something in the foreground?

@leggzy It was a militarised area upto the 19th Century, being on the border with Spain and open to raids by the British navy. Then in WW2 the Germans destroyed much of the port when they left - the wharves were rebuilt but I guess this old fort had no value and was left as it is.
