Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta is a Spanish fort in the city of Havana, Cuba.
Although construction began in 1590, it took decades to complete; situated across the harbor entrance from the Castillo Morro, the two forts were close enough to permit the use of a large metal chain which, when tightened, could protect the harbor from enemy incursions.
After Stede Bonnet's sugar was confiscated in 1715, Edward Kenway infiltrated the fort to retrieve his own stolen goods – a blood vial and map bound for Laureano de Torres y Ayala, governor of Cuba and Grand Master of the Caribbean Templars – though he had to left Bonnet's sugar crates behind as he couldn't carry them.
In 1722, Edward – then an Assassin ally – infiltrated the stronghold once more and killed Torres' body double before battling and eventually overpowering the governor's right-hand man, El Tiburón.
