Vieques Fort, Spanish colonial fort in Isabel II, Puerto Rico

The fortress stands on a hill in Isabel II, featuring thick stone walls, military architecture, and strategic viewpoints overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Built during Spanish colonial rule, Fortín Conde de Mirasol protected Vieques from potential invaders and maintained Spanish control over the Caribbean territory.

The fort houses exhibits of indigenous artifacts, military equipment, and historical documents that tell the story of Vieques through different periods.

Visitors can reach the fort by taking a ferry from Fajardo to Vieques, followed by a short walk or taxi ride through Isabel II.

The structure remains the last Spanish fort built in the Americas, marking the end of Spanish military construction in the New World.
