In 1688 Hollar, in his capacity of 'Scenographus Regus', went there as part of a mission sent to deal with problems with hostile natives. Hollar made some sketches of the fortifications, published in 1673. The fortifications shown were demolished in 1684 when the English government abandoned Tangier. Some of Hollar's drawings of Tangier are in the British Museum.
