In 1764, Charles III of Spain ordered the construction of nine fortifications on the coast of the Kingdom of Granada because it was suffering from attacks by Berber pirates. San Ramón Castle was built in 1765 and designed by Jose Crame. It is almost identical to the forts of San Felipe, Jesús Nazareno, Guardias Viejas, Carchuna and La Herradura.
