Five video surveillance cameras have been in operation around Rincón de la Victoria's Casa Fuerte Bezmiliana since Tuesday. The aim of the 24-hour cameras, which are connected directly to the town's local police station, is to stop the ongoing vandalism to the 18th-century fort.

Culture councillor, Antonio José Martín, said on Tuesday that the cameras are in strategic positions around the building and "cover all angles to stop the proliferation of graffiti".

The fort was built in 1766 under the instruction of King Charles III to defend the town against mainly British and Dutch pirates.

In modern times it has been used as an exhibition centre and has recently undergone restoration.

Mayor of Rincón de la Victoria, Francisco Salado, said that there are further plans to introduce cameras to the area around the town's Cueva del Tesoro, which has also been targeted by vandals.
