Castillo de San Juan Bautista
Melhor época para visitar
Late afternoon, when golden light rakes the basalt walls and harbor cruise crowds thin out. Photographers get the ramparts almost to themselves after 4:30 p.m.
Dicas para economizar
Entry is free, and the small exhibition room costs nothing extra, making the fortress a budget-friendly stop beside the harbor promenade. Morning hours are uncrowded, so visitors can linger without paying for a guide.

Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Walls of hand-cut volcanic basalt bear the cannonball scars from the 1797 attack when Horatio Nelson's fleet was thrown back, an action that cost him his right arm. Inside, a compact exhibition of muskets and period maps traces the fortress's long shift from coastal defense to barracks and prison.
Destaques: Stand at the west gun platform and picture July 25, 1797, when landing boats dragged onto the shingle below while the garrison lit the fuses in darkness and rain. Nelson's arm stayed behind that night, and locals still tell how the defenders fed the wounded, surrendered sailors they had just beaten.

- Arrive by 4:30 p.m. to catch the warm light and dodge midday tour groups on the gun deck
- Skip the audio guide and read the printed panels near each cannon, they hold the best stories
