Fort Moussa, built in the century during the Spanish occupation and overlooking the Gulf, was converted into a museum in 1987.
Built in the 16th century by Pedro de Navarro during the Spanish occupation, the fort dominates the gulf which is rounded to the east of Bejaia. The fort Moussa was then occupied by the Turks, since 1555. It took the name of Ridjal Sebàa in homage to the sacrifice of seven Bougiotte marabouts who fell on the battlefield, then that of Bordj Moussa.
From 1833, the French transformed it into a military barracks and then into a place of detention.
After having been abandoned for a long time, it is in 1987 that it began to be fitted out in museum.

Le jardin autour du fort es magnifique avec une vue enchanteresse sur la mer et la vieille ville. Dommage que le fort est fermé depuis 5 ans pour rénovation. .. sans qu on y voit quiconque travailler. Il ouvre pendant un mois pour le mois du patrimoine. Et reste fermé tout le reste de l'année
