Its history dates back to 1816, when the intendant Brigadier Ciriaco del Llano adapted the temples of Loreto and Guadalupe to use them as forts, since there could be attacks by the insurgents. Due to its location, the place served as a defense of the city. The forts were used in multiple battles, being mostly known for the victory against the French in the battle of May 5, 1862.
