Fuerte San Juan Bautista

The stone fortification stands near a lagoon with thick walls, bastions, and artillery positions designed for regional defense operations.

Spanish authorities constructed this military outpost in the late 17th century to protect settlers and maintain control over indigenous territories.

The fort represents a fusion of Spanish colonial military architecture with adaptations specific to South American defense requirements.

Visitors can access the fort through guided tours that explain military strategies and life during colonial times at this strategic location.

The fort's position along the lagoon enabled garrison troops to monitor water routes while maintaining communication with other colonial settlements.
