Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, Spanish colonial fort in Umatac, US.

The Spanish military constructed this defensive structure between 1802 and 1819 to protect galleon trade routes between Acapulco and Manila.

The fort sits atop Chalan Aniti, which translates to Path of the Ancestors, reflecting the deep connection between military history and local heritage.
