Islote de Sancti Petri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Islote de Sancti Petri is a small barren island belonging to the municipality of Chiclana de la Frontera in the province of Cádiz and the autonomous region of Andalusia, Spain. For many years, the island was a restricted military zone, but it is now under the control of the Spanish Environment Ministry. The ruins of an eighteenth-century castle remain on the island; the tower of the castle has been substantially rebuilt, and it is now in use as a lighthouse. The name, Sancti Petri, also applies to the beach on the mainline, in Chiclana, directly opposite the island.
