File:LA HABANA (Cuba). Castillo de Atarés, 1823.jpgThe Castillo de Santo Domingo de Atarés is a small hexagonal hilltop fort in Havana built in 1767. Work commenced in 1763, around the same time as initial work on Castillo del Príncipe. It is located on La loma de Soto above the harbour.[http://www.radioenciclopedia.cu/cultural-news/news/the-castillo-atares-an-excellent-overlook-of-the-oldest-area-of-havana-20160824/ The Castillo de Atarés: an excellent overlook of the oldest area of Havana][http://www.mgar.net/cuba/defensas.htm Los castillos El Príncipe y Atarés] "Para la erección del Castillo de Santo Domingo de Atarés se seleccionó la Loma de Soto, en la zona de extramuros, con una amplia visibilidad del Puerto. Las obras se encargaron al ingeniero Agustín Crame, que las inició en 1763 y quedaron concluidas cuatro años más tarde. Fue dotada de una numerosa guarnición y armamentos adecuados según la época. " In 1982, the fort was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, along with other historic sites in Old Havana, because of the city's importance in the European conquest of the New World, its fortifications, and its unique architecture.{{cite web |url = http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/204 |title = Old Havana and its Fortification System |website = UNESCO World Heritage Centre |publisher = United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization |access-date = 26 May 2021}}
