Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas is a historic fortress sitting on the Hill of San Lázaro in a strategic location with a commanding view off all approaches to the city by land or sea. It was truly impregnable and was never taken despite numerous attempts to storm it. A complex system of tunnels connected strategic points to allow provisions to be distributed and to facilitate evacuation. The tunnels were constructed so that any noise reverberated all the way along them, making it possible to hear the slightest sound of an approaching enemy's feet, and also making internal communication easy.
