Santa Catalina, like the rest of the Marina Wall, was characterized by a long construction process The Santa Catalina, with an irregular floor plan, had a wide walkway, access ramp, tendon, sentry boxes, cisterns and a cordon. The sea, and especially the blasting carried out by Baron De Pointis in 1697, made its reconstruction necessary in the 18th century. Juan de Herrera y Sotomayor in 1719 eliminated the low plazas, repaired the cisterns and relocated the existing door, moving it to its current location. next to San Lucas. In addition, the construction of the spur begins to protect the bastion from the attacks of the sea; work that Antonio de Arévalo would perfect at the end of the century. This brigadier engineer complements the defense of Cruz Grande Avenue by adding the Cabrero ravelin to Santa Catalina, with a wet moat and covered path, which is currently not preserved having been demolished at the end of the 19th century.

Named after the ancient convent of Santa Catalina of Siena nearby
