概要

クイックファクト: During pirate raids, the fortress fired up to 44 cannons to defend the bay. Visitors can still walk along its thick 4-meter walls and see original cannonballs embedded in the stone.

見どころ: Look out from the fortress ramparts to the turquoise bay where pirate ships once threatened; the echo of cannon fire feels alive here. A hidden chapel inside reveals intricate 18th-century religious carvings rarely seen on Cuban forts.

インサイダーヒント

Wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven stone surfaces.
Bring a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen, as shade is limited on the ramparts.
Photograph the view facing the bay just before sunset for golden light.
Skip guided tours if you prefer exploring at your own pace and want to avoid group delays.
